Peach Bourbon Arnold Palmer, a delightful twist on a classic refreshment. Take an Arnold Palmer & add bourbon & peach liqueur for a perfect summer cocktail.
A classic Arnold Palmer is a cool & refreshing beverage on a hot summer day. It’s simple to make because it’s just equal parts tea & lemonade.
Add a little lemon & it’s oh so good. I have seen this twisted numerous ways, all delicious in their own right. The most common version I have seen is adding a shot of bourbon to it.
Make this with our Easy Instant Pot Iced Tea & top it with our Grilled Peaches.
It’s a great cocktail, that’s for sure. But today for Feast & Devour the theme is peaches. So I decided a Peach Bourbon Arnold Palmer was the perfect thing.
You see, I’m always looking for new recipes to use my homemade peach liqueur in. So of course that was the first thing I pulled out, right next to my Devil’s Cut.

But of course, you can pick up some peach liqueur from the store if you are pinched for time. I serve these in my favorite rocks glasses with a whiskey ball.
It’s definitely the perfect refreshment after 18 holes or as you kick your feet up after mowing the lawn.
This drink is a must for bourbon lovers! That’s a fact!
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. They will also help to keep the drink chilled like the ice.
Can I use a a different type of alcohol?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suppose you could use vodka or rum. Please let me know how it turns out.
How many can this serve?
This recipe is for 1 glass. You can of course double the recipe if you need to.
Can this recipe for bourbon Arnold Palmer be made in bulk ahead of time
You can make this ahead of time in a large pitcher. Just mix and refrigerate. Don’t add the ice in the pitcher or it will dilute the mixture. It will be best to pour over ice in the individual glasses when serving.
To make Peach Bourbon Arnold Palmer you will need…
- Pour tea, lemonade, simple syrup, bourbon & peach liqueur over ice ball in a rocks glass & stir.

Note: Whiskey is made all over the world and there are many popular styles including Scotch whiskey, Irish whiskey, and American whiskey. The most popular form of American whiskey is bourbon, which has its own specific definition. (source) (you can swap depending on what you have on hand- whiskey/bourbon)

I don’t drink much alcohol but can see how this would be refreshing.
Misty says
I know this is an older thread and while this recipe looks delicious (I WILL be trying it), it is named inappropriately.
Arnold Palmers are named that way because Arnold always, at EVERY golf course he went to, ordered half lemonade and half sweet tea. He never added alcohol.
However, John Daley would sit with him and after Arnold would order his drink by saying “I’ll have what he’s having, but add vodka.”
SO…..lemonade + tea = Arnold Palmer and lemonade + tea + alcohol = John Daley
Gina Kleinworth says
I disagree. THE WHOLE POINT of this drink was to twist on the classic as I mentioned in the opening sentence, which is why it is named as it is. It illustrates that it has peach and bourbon added to an Arnold Palmer. That is why I did not title it “Classic Arnold Palmer”.
