Notes
MOCKTAIL – To make this a mocktail, leave out all of the alcohol and add in even more tea!
*FROZEN PEACHES – You can also use frozen thawed peaches
**AMARO – If you can’t get your hands on this specific liqueur, really any amaro would work. You could also use Jagermeister in a pinch but I suggest only using about 1/4 oz since it has a stronger flavor than an amaro.
