Peach Iced Tea isn’t a shortcut. It isn’t a “flavoured” anything. It’s a hard tea made the proper way, following the same principles that shaped English Punch in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Back then, punch wasn’t a bowl of neon chaos. It was structure. Spirit, tea, citrus, sugar, and fruit — five elements, balanced. The name itself comes from paansche, the Hindi word for five: a quiet reminder that good drinks have rules.
We kept those rules.
We start with Appleton Estate Signature, a true Caribbean rum with enough depth to stand up in a cold-format drink. It’s steeped in English Breakfast Tea for 17 hours, long enough to pull out the tannin and backbone without the bitterness. Fresh lemon juice brings the acidity, all-Australian sugar brings the balance, and yellow clingstone peach provides the fruit character — bright, ripe, honest.
Put together, it becomes a modern iced tea with historic discipline: refreshing, clean, structured, and built to be enjoyed without thinking too hard about it.
At 12%, it’s lighter than a glass of wine, deliberately so. This is a drink made to be sessionable — warm afternoon, long lunch, backyard table, beach esky — and it’s moreish in that quiet, dangerous way where one glass disappears and the next one appears without ceremony. That’s the mark of something made properly.
A hard tea with lineage. A punch with restraint.
A summer drink with standards.
