Crown Royal Peach Old Fashioned: Simple co*cktail Recipe! - Dinners Done Quick (2024)

The main difference is the use of Crown Royal Peach whisky, which adds a distinct peach flavor, making the drink sweeter and fruitier than the traditional version.

Fresh fruit may also be added, and other peach flavored whiskeys or bourbons can be used in lieu of Crown to achieve a similar flavor profile.

Large ice cubes or a single large ice sphere are ideal as they melt slower, keeping the drink cold without diluting it too quickly.

You can also enjoy this co*cktail neat (with no ice) though it will be stronger. Alternatively, try adding a frozen cherry or frozen peach slices, which will add flavor and minimize dilution.

Absolutely, the fruity and refreshing peach flavor makes it a great choice for summer sipping.

Since an old fashioned is typically served on the rocks (with ice) it’s also cooling. With just a few simple ingredients, it makes it a great option for entertaining as well.

While it won’t be the same, you can create a mocktail using peach-flavored soda or juice with some bitters and a splash of soda water.

This drink is difficult to make a mocktail version of since there are very few mixers involved. Feel free to still garnish with a cherry, though, for visual appeal!

Flavors like vanilla, ginger, lemon, and cinnamon complement the peach whisky well.

Feel free to add flavored syrups or sodas to create unique flavor and texture combinations in your co*cktail.

Yes, you can mix the whiskey, bitters, and simple syrup in a pitcher ahead of time, but add the ice and garnishes just before serving to maintain the best flavor and presentation.

You may also choose not to mix the sweetener in in advance, and let guests adjust the strength and sweetness to their personal tastes when serving.

This co*cktail pairs well with light appetizers like cheese and crackers, fruit platters, or even grilled meats with a sweet glaze.

It’s also a nice accompaniment to peach flavored desserts, such as cobblers, pies, or cakes, for an after dinner treat.

Yes, you can use different sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, or flavored simple syrups to customize the sweetness and flavor profile of the co*cktail.

Peach simple syrup is a great choice to reinforce the peach flavor of the drink, but blueberry and raspberry would also be good complimentary choices to try.

• Enjoy!

• You can also use 1 ½ ounces of your favorite plain whiskey or bourbon and add ½ ounce peach schnapps for flavor. Feel free to substitute a different brand of peach whiskey or bourbon in place of Crown as well (like Bird Dog, Jim Beam, etc)
• Regular simple syrup is fine, but peach flavor is also great here. You can sub a more natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup as well if preferred
• For some extra peach flavor, muddle a peach slice in your glass before assembling!
• Just like a traditional old fashioned, this peach old fashioned is a relatively strong co*cktail, as it primarily consists of whisky with minimal mixers. If it is too strong for you, add up to 1 ounce of cold water to dilute it for your tastes
• A Crown peach old fashioned is sweeter than a traditional old fashioned, since the whisky itself is slightly sweeter with the peach flavor. You can reduce or even omit the simple syrup if you’d like to reduce sweetness in your drink, or add a splash of orange or lemon juice to add a hint of tartness to offset it
• Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand and flavor of ingredients, any garnishes added, and actual quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
