Peach Tea Press
About
The Peach Tea Press is an easy-drinking highball that feels familiar in the best way. Think of it as a cleaner, more grown-up version of spiked iced tea. Sipsmith London Dry Gin brings a crisp botanical base, peach schnapps adds soft stone-fruit sweetness, and chilled green tea keeps everything dry and refreshing. A small splash of Cointreau lifts the fruit with a hint of orange, while club soda keeps the drink light and lively.
Served tall over ice, this cocktail is built for long sips rather than big impact. It’s hydrating, balanced, and never too sweet. The Peach Tea Press is the kind of drink you can enjoy more than one of - perfect for warm afternoons, casual get-togethers, or anytime you want something refreshing without feeling weighed down.
Shaken or Stirred? Built. This one is all about keeping things simple and relaxed.
