Ingredients For a Crown Peach Fizz
- 2 ounces Crown Royal peach whisky
- ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1 ounce peach juice or nectar
- 3 ounces peach sparkling water (or similar; see notes)
- Ice cubes
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- You can swap in another brand of peach whiskey or bourbon (such as Bird Dog or Jim Beam), or swap liquors altogether and use a peach-flavored vodka (like New Amsterdam)
- Instead of the peach juice, you could also muddle a few fresh peach slices in the bottom of the glass to add more fruity flavor
- Any peach or mixed peach flavor sparkling water is fine. My local stores were out of just peach flavor, so I’m using a peach cherry sparkling water today! You can also substitute another bubbly mixer, like Sprite (or another lemon lime soda), peach soda, or prosecco
How to Make a Crown Peach Fizz
- In a lowball glass (such as a whiskey glass), add the Crown peach whisky, lemon juice, and peach juice, and stir to combine
- Fill the glass with ice (cubes or crushed)
- Top with sparkling water
- Garnish with fresh peach slices, a lemon slice, or a sprig of mint if desired and enjoy!

Recipe FAQs
What is a Fizz Cocktail Made With Whiskey Called?
A fizz cocktail made with whiskey is called an Imperial fizz. However, if the whiskey is specifically Crown Royal, then it may also be called a Royal fizz.
Either way, they all indicate the same drink, with multiple variations on what it’s actually called.
Can I Use a Different Mixer Instead of Sparkling Water?
Yes, you can use various fizzy mixers such as club soda, tonic water, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda to customize the flavor of your Crown Peach fizz cocktail.
Note that if you use a soda like ginger ale or Sprite, it will increase the overall sweetness of the drink.
Is the Crown Peach Fizz Cocktail Sweet?
A Crown Peach Fizz cocktail is lightly sweet and fruity in flavor, thanks to the Crown Royal peach whisky, which has a natural peach sweetness.
For a sweeter drink, add soda instead of unsweetened sparkling water, or adjust with a drink sweetener like simple syrup, honey, or agave to taste.
What Occasions Is the Crown Peach Fizz Suitable For?
The Crown peach fizz is versatile and suitable for a variety of occasions, including summer gatherings, brunches, parties, or a relaxing evening at home.
You can also mix the base in advance and bring along a cooler with cans of sparkling water to top the drink just before serving at a picnic or beach party.
Can I Make a Non-Alcoholic Version of the Crown Peach Fizz?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic mocktail version by using additional peach juice or nectar (or a mixed peach juice) in place of the Crown Royal peach whisky.
Add lemon juice to adjust the sweetness down, and top with the sparkling water or club soda to make it fizzy and refreshing!
How Strong Is a Crown Peach Fizz Cocktail?
The strength of the cocktail depends on the ratio of whisky to mixers. As written, it’s about medium strength since it’s evenly mixed.
Adjust the amount of whiskey or sparkling water to make it stronger or weaker as desired.
Can I Prepare a Crown Peach Fizz in Advance?
It is best to prepare the Crown peach fizz fresh to maintain its effervescence. However, you can pre-mix the Crown Royal peach whisky with the lemon and peach juices and refrigerate it.
Add ice and the sparkling water (or another carbonated mixer of choice) just before serving.
Recipe Tips For Crown Peach Fizz
- This Imperial fizz is best served fresh for maximum fizziness and minimal dilution. However, you can mix the whiskey, peach juice, and lemon juice ahead of time and store in a pitcher in the refrigerator until ready to use
- Feel free to add some frozen peach slices in place of some of the ice, which will add color and flavor to the drink, as well as minimizing dilution (and I love eating the boozy peaches afterwards)!
Royal Peach Fizz Serving and Presentation Suggestions
- A Royal fizz is usually served in a lowball glass, like a whiskey glass, old fashioned glass, or rocks glass. However, you could also use some sort of highball glass or Collins glass to allow extra space for the fizzy mixers and garnishes
- Garnishes are entirely optional for a peach Imperial fizz, but can include fresh peach slices, mint sprigs, or a twist of lemon or lime, adding both visual appeal and a hint of extra flavor
