Ingredients
-
1½ cups Jim Beam bourbon
-
1 cup peach schnapps
-
2 cups sweet tea (or lemonade for a citrusy twist)
-
1½ cups pineapple juice
-
1½ cups fruit punch (like Hawaiian Punch)
-
1 cup club soda or lemon-lime soda (optional, for fizz)
-
1 orange, thinly sliced
-
1 lemon, thinly sliced
-
1 cup strawberries or mixed berries
-
Crushed ice, for serving
-
Fresh mint and extra fruit slices, for garnish
Instructions
-
Mix the base: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the Jim Beam, peach schnapps, sweet tea or lemonade, pineapple juice, and fruit punch. Stir well to combine.
-
Add fruit & chill: Add the sliced orange, lemon, and berries. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
-
Serve over ice: Fill glasses with crushed ice, then pour or ladle in the chilled punch.
-
Top it off: Add a splash of soda to each glass if you like it fizzy.
-
Garnish & enjoy: Drop in a few extra fruit slices and a fresh mint sprig for that perfect party-ready look!
Notes
-
Want it stronger? Add an extra ½ cup of bourbon for a bolder kick.
-
Prefer it sweeter? A splash of simple syrup or grenadine will do the trick.
-
Make-ahead tip: Mix the base (everything except soda and ice) up to 24 hours ahead. Chill, then add soda and ice right before serving.
-
Frozen version: Blend with ice in batches for a boozy slush-style punch that’s summer-party gold.
-
Non-alcoholic version: Skip the booze and sub in peach nectar or peach iced tea—still fruity and fun!
