Beach days call for fruity, tropical drinks, and this Crown peach beach drink checks all the boxes! Crown Royal peach whisky meets orange, pineapple, mango, and lemon lime flavors for a refreshing and fun cocktail that’s perfect for summer.
What is a Crown Peach Beach Drink?
A Crown Royal peach beach drink, sometimes referred to as a peach on the beach, is a refreshing cocktail that combines Crown Royal peach whisky with several mixers, including a mix of pineapple juice and splash of bubbly soda.
This drink is known for its sweet, peachy flavor and is served over ice, making it a popular choice for summer gatherings and beach outings, hence the name.
It’s also a relatively weak drink, with the ratio of juice being higher than the alcohol, so it’s a cocktail you can enjoy all day without going over the top.
The great thing about this peachy beach drink is that it’s incredibly customizable by using different juices and sodas to create your own unique flavor combinations! Crown peach pairs very well with orange and pineapple juices, so that’s what I use, but the choice is yours!

Ingredients List
- 2 oz Crown Royal peach whisky
- 3 oz pineapple mango juice
- 2 oz orange juice
- ½ oz grenadine
- 1 oz Sprite/7-Up (optional)
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- You can use any other brand of peach-flavored whiskey, or substitute another peach-flavored liquor (like rum or vodka). Alternatively, use 1 ½ ounces of plain liquor and add ½ oz peach schnapps for flavor
- Feel free to use plain pineapple juice, or a different combo (I just happen to like the peach mango, but it’s very customizable). Pineapple coconut, cranberry pineapple, and pineapple orange banana are other great options! You can also try different flavored juices, like mango, banana, cranberry, papaya, or coconut to create unique flavor combinations!
- The soda is optional, but it adds a fun carbonated element and a little extra sweetness! You can also use lemonade, or an unsweetened lemon flavored sparkling water
Step By Step Instructions
- To a whiskey glass (or similar), add the peach whiskey, orange juice, and pineapple mango juice. Stir well, then pour in the grenadine (this will create the gradient effect to make it look like a sunset)
- Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving about ½” of room at the top of the glass
- Top with Sprite, 7-Up, or another lemon-lime soda of choice
- Garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple, fresh peach slice, maraschino cherry, and a drink umbrella. Enjoy!

Recipe FAQs
What Mixers Can Be Used in a Crown Peach Beach Drink?
Mixers commonly used include lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, or even lemonade or iced tea to complement the peach flavor of the whisky.
Generally, most tropical fruit juices or citrus flavored drinks are a good bet, but you can customize it just the way you like!
What Does a Crown Peach Beach Drink Taste Like?
The drink’s flavor is sweet and peachy, with a hint of the whisky’s smoothness, complemented by the tropical and citrus juices.
It’s similar to a “sex on the beach” cocktail, just with the richer whiskey base instead of vodka.
Can I Make a Non-Alcoholic Version?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic mocktail version by replacing the whiskey with a peach-flavored soda or juice. You could also use lemonade to add a slightly more tart note to the drink.
Is the Crown Peach Beach Drink Easy to Make?
Yes, the peach on the beach is an easy cocktail to prepare, requiring just a few ingredients mixed together and served over ice.
No fancy equipment is needed, other than perhaps a measuring cup, but you could really just eyeball it if you’d prefer.
Tips For the Best Crown Peach Beach Drink
- The strength of this drink is intentionally a little lower (so you can enjoy a few while relaxing on the beach)! However, you can add more alcohol or less juice if you’d like to make a stronger version
- I personally do not find this drink overly sweet as written (though don’t get me wrong, it is a sweet drink, just not cloying). If you want it less sweet, consider using lemonade instead of Sprite, or unsweetened lemon sparkling water to cut the sweetness
- Serve cold! A Crown peach beach drink is typically served over ice, which makes it a refreshing choice, especially during warm weather! Crushed ice is a great choice, but you can also use ice cubes if you prefer
Serving and Presentation
- Garnishes for a Crown peach beach drink are optional, but can include a fresh slice of pineapple and/or peach, a sprig of fresh mint, or a maraschino cherry. Plus, is it really a beach drink without a little paper umbrella?
- Glassware is very forgiving for a peach on the beach. I like whiskey glasses, but you can also use mason jars, hurricane glasses, or even a fun tiki mug! Just make sure you have enough room for the drink and ice, plus any garnishes and you can’t go wrong

- Swedish Fish Shot
- Midori and Pineapple Juice
- Pineapple Coconut Margarita
Final Thoughts
This Crown peach beach drink (or peach on the beach) is a fun, fruity cocktail bursting with summer flavors! While you could definitely enjoy it for a beach day, it’s also appropriate for poolside sipping, backyard barbecues, and other summer parties, and always a hit with guests!
It’s an incredibly easy cocktail to make, and there’s so much customization you can take advantage of! Nearly any tropical juice can be thrown in, along with a variety of different carbonated toppers, for a drink that’s fruity, refreshing, and fun!
