If you love frozen mixed drinks as much as I do, then you’re going to enjoy this Crown Royal peach daiquiri! It’s a classic blended frozen cocktail featuring the sweet flavor of Crown Royal peach whiskey instead of rum for a fruity twist that’s perfect for summer sipping!
What is a Crown Royal Peach Daiquiri?
A Crown Royal peach daiquiri is a twist on the classic daiquiri cocktail, incorporating Crown Royal Peach Whisky as the base spirit instead of the traditional rum.
This version combines the sweet and fruity flavor of the peach-flavored whisky with traditional daiquiri ingredients like lime juice (or lemon) and simple syrup (or another sweetener). It’s also quite easy to add another flavor (like strawberry) to create a layered drink for even more flavor!
The result is a refreshing and fruity cocktail that offers a unique take on the classic daiquiri, with the added depth and complexity of whisky.
This cocktail is typically served blended with ice (though you could opt for a rocks version), making it a popular choice for summer gatherings and occasions where a refreshing, fruity drink is desired.
The combination of whisky and the tanginess of citrus creates a balanced flavor profile that appeals to both whisky enthusiasts and those who enjoy sweeter cocktails.

Crown Royal Peach Daiquiri Ingredients
- ½ cup Crown Royal peach whisky
- ½ cup peach nectar
- 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups ice
*Halve if you want to add a second, different flavor
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- Honestly, you can use any peach-flavored whiskey brand, and you can also substitute another peach-flavored spirit, like peach rum or peach vodka if preferred
- I don’t feel simple syrup is needed because I use peach nectar. However, if you don’t find the drink sweet enough, feel free to add some simple syrup to taste. You can also use peach juice if preferred
- While lime juice is more traditional in a daiquiri, I find lemon juice to be a preferable pairing for peach. However, you can definitely do lime if you want!
- If you want to simplify this recipe, use a peach-flavored daiquiri mix, which eliminates the need for the citrus juice, simple syrup, and the peach juice. Just add the ice and whiskey to about ¾ cup of the mix and blend!
- To create a daiquiri with multiple flavors, simply split the recipe in half and use a different fruit juice or daiquiri mix for the other half (you can use the same peach whiskey, or choose another complimentary flavor spirit). I’m making half strawberry using a strawberry daiquiri mix because I love the color contrast with the peach color!
How to Make a Crown Royal Peach Daiquiri
- To a blender, add the whiskey, peach nectar, lemon juice, and ice. If you are planning to do multiple flavors, only add half of each
- Blend on high until a smooth consistency is reached. You can adjust the consistency with more ice to thicken or more juice to thin if necessary
- Serve in a hurricane glass (or similar) and enjoy! If you made a second flavor, just alternate pouring into the glass to create layers
Alternate Rocks Serving Directions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker along with a few cubes of ice
- Shake until chilled and lightly frothy, 20-30 seconds
- Strain into a coupe glass (or similar) filled with ice

Recipe FAQs
What Is A Crown Royal Peach Daiquiri?
A Crown Royal peach daiquiri is a refreshing cocktail that combines the smooth, fruity flavor of Crown Royal peach whisky with the classic elements of a daiquiri, which typically includes rum, citrus juice, and sugar.
In this recipe, however, naturally sweet peach nectar is used instead of sugar to add sweetness as well as fruity flavor.
Can You Use Peaches in Your Daiquiri?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used in a Crown Royal peach daiquiri instead of the peach juice, if they are ripe and in season. Simply peel, pit, and slice 2-3 peaches before blending them with the other ingredients.
You can also use frozen peaches in place of some of the ice to add extra flavor. However, it will add fruit chunks to the drink as well (they never blend totally smoothly).
What Is The Best Way To Garnish A Crown Royal Peach Daiquiri?
A Crown Royal peach daiquiri can be garnished with fresh peach slices, mint leaves, or a lime wedge for a pop of color and additional flavor.
You can also use other fruits, especially if serving a blended flavor daiquiri, such as strawberry. Don’t forget a fun straw, or a cocktail umbrella for a beachy vibe!
Can A Crown Royal Peach Daiquiri Be Made As A Frozen Drink?
Yes, you can make a frozen Crown Royal peach daiquiri by blending the ingredients with ice. This creates a slushy texture that is perfect for hot summer days.
It can also be served on the rocks if preferred, though this is actually typically the less-common serving option. Just shake the ingredients with ice, then add to a glass filled with ice cubes.
Is It Possible To Make A Non-Alcoholic Version Of A Peach Daiquiri?
Yes, a non-alcoholic mocktail version can be made by omitting the Crown Royal peach whisky and using more peach juice or nectar along with lime juice and a sweetener like honey or simple syrup.
You can still use daiquiri mix if you’d like, since the mix itself doesn’t contain alcohol. Just add your peach juice (or even another fruit juice if you want to mix flavors) and blend.
Crown Peach Daiquiri Recipe Tips
- This is designed to be a more fruit and less alcohol-forward sippable frozen drink (to be fair, each drink still has two shots of liquor, but it’s mild tasting because of the juice and ice). If you want it stronger, feel free to add more alcohol to taste!
- Peach pairs perfectly with many other berries for fun flavor combinations perfect for summer! I like strawberry, but you can try raspberry, blueberry, or mango for other great options. Just divide the recipe and swap in a different juice and/or liquor for the other half to create great mixes!
Storage and Serving Suggestions For Peach Daiquiris
- You can store leftover daiquiri in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 48 hours (but note it will dilute from the ice melting). If you want to enjoy it frozen again, add more ice and re-blend before serving
- Garnishes are optional, but can include a slice of lemon or lime, fresh slice of peach, or even a sprig of mint for herbal notes. Don’t forget a colorful straw and a cocktail umbrella for the finishing touches!
- Typically, daiquiris are served in hurricane glasses but if you don’t have one, you can use a mason jar, white wine glass, or even plastic party cups in a pinch!
