Celebrate summer with a Peach Tea Mule, a summery twist on the classic Moscow Mule,
and refreshing cocktail that marries the flavor of sweet tea and peaches!
You’ll also find a round up of ‘Just Peachy’ recipes for summer.
Happy Thursday! Is it hot where you are? We’re in the 90s this week with the humidity on the rise.
This Peach Tea Mule is a refreshing cocktail, ideal for summertime sipping!

A traditional Moscow Mule is made with vodka, ginger beer and lime juice.
If you’re not familiar with ginger beer, it’s brewed with ginger root and is a spicier
more robust version of ginger ale. Ginger ‘beer’ is a bit of a misnomer as
modern day ginger beer doesn’t contain alcohol.
The copper Moscow Mule mug keeps your cocktail nice and frosty and is essential
when the heat and humidity are in the sweltering range!
Make sure your mug is lined with stainless steel which won’t react
with the acid in the lime or fruit juice.
There are endless ways to customize your own Moscow Mule recipe.
I used Sweet Tea Vodka and Peach Schnapps which I already had, but you can
mix your own version with peach nectar, peach or regular vodka and a splash of sweet tea.
If you’re a fan of sweet tea and peaches, I think you’ll find this summer cocktail very refreshing!
This is the type of cocktail that I don’t usually measure, mixing to taste.
Fill mug half full with crushed ice, to each mug add:
1 ½ oz. Sweet Tea Vodka
½ oz. Peach Schnapps
1 – 2 peach slices, diced and muddled / smashed the end of wood spoon to release the peach flavor
Add ginger beer to top off and a generous squeeze of lime, stirring to combine.

Metamorphosis Monday
I just ordered a box of peaches through a local church’s youth group. Thanks for so many ideas to use them when they arrive! I always love your presentations! Have a great week, Mary.
Thank you for taking the time to share all the 🍑-y goodness with us, Mary! 😘
Yum! I love peaches and all these ideas looks fabulous! I need to go buy some peaches. As always, thanks, Mary! Your presentation is on point!!!!
Mary, Southern Summer has definitely arrived in N.C.. Great time for some cold refreshing drinks and a good book. I love anything peach and will be getting some of those delicious Sandhill peaches for creating some yummy recipes from your blog.
Stay cool and safe.
Wow! So many delicious-looking summer recipes!
I love the title of your blog. It reminds me of an embroidery piece I stitched years ago. I framed it and hung it on the wall. It said “Home Is Where CSX Sends You”. We were transferred 15 times during my husband’s career.
Starting the morning tipsy with temps near 100 today sounds like a great plan!
Love all ideas Mary. I made a fresh peach pie; it was tasty but not nearly as pretty as those cute little hand pies! Stay cool. The heat and humidity are both brutal. Clara♥️
I wish I was sitting on the deck enjoying a nice cold drink with you right now Mary! (Forget that it’s only 10:30… k?) I still haven’t had a fresh peach yet this summer, gotta get on that:@))
Mary, peaches are my favorite summertime fruit. I hope my son is bringing me a large basket from Chilton County AL today. I love every recipe you shared. Happy Thursday!
Oh my goodness, I’m so hungry now! What a delicious collection of peach recipes. Is it wrong I’m craving a Peach Tea Mule at 10am? :) Thanks for sharing another beautiful round up of recipes Mary. 🍑
Yum! I’m asking my son to pick up peaches when he comes up from SC. That peach, corn and tomato salad looks amazing! Teresa
Mary, your round ups are mouthwatering! I’m pinning several recipes to try this summer, including your Peach Tea Mule!
We always look forward to peach season and these recipes look wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Debra
This looks GOOD! I just tore out an add from SoLiving for peach syrup to mix drinks with. I bet you could probably adjust the other ingredients to do the same. All these recipes look amazing. I love peaches, miss shopping in person!
I saw a recipe yesterday for peach poundcake that looked delicious. But who wants to turn on their oven for 50 minutes in this heat? That seems like a great recipe for winter to use up some of the peaches I freeze from summer. I think a refreshing peach beverage is the way to go now!
There are some peach dumplings in my future! Thanks for the recipes! 🍑🍑🍑
All those pictures of your peach recipes make my mouth water! They look so tasty!
Wow, so many tasty recipes to try! I especially like the crab, peach and avocado salad, will have to try it soon, when peaches are ready around here. Thanks for another great round-up. You’re a peach ! (Yes, it has been Super HOT and humid in the high 90’s, went to the beach last Friday and it was great! 🌊😁.)
They all look like such a nice way to beat the heat. We’re headed up to 105 this weekend, and something chilled, whether a drink or peaches and ice cream, is the perfect solution!
I’ve made and highly recommend the Skillet Bourbon Peach and Blueberry Crumble. It’s perfect on a crisp fall evening. But anything with ice cream is great on a hot summer day!
Mary, As delicious as your recipes are, I can’t take my eyes off that beautiful arrangement and table! Thanks so much for adding your source for the tablecloth!
Help! Hi Mary. I have all the materials to make the bee magnet napkin rings but the rings. I can’t find your blog stating what metals the ring must be for the magnet to work. You are certainly correct in saying some metals won’t work. The magnet just falls off! Thanks for any help.
My fav picture of the girls is the one standing in the boat looking out at the water. They look like little ballerinas with their fluffy tails their tu tus!
❤️ Annie
Hi, Anne, Magnets will not adhere to all metals, like copper, brass or pewter. The post you’re referring to is here: https://homeiswheretheboatis.net/2019/02/17/transforming-napkin-rings-with-magnets-and-rub-n-buff/
I don’t know the chemical make up of the magnets I had, I’m guessing they had some nickel in them. I found them at Pier 1 several years ago and just got lucky. There are some on Amazon, here, that look similar but I don’t know if magnets will adhere to them or not, you might just have to experiment.
YUMMY!!! 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
Summer peaches are such a treat, and your peach mule sounds delicious! I love sweet tea vodka, and usually mix it with lemonade, I can’t wait to try it with peaches, thanks Mary!
Wow, what a beautiful post chopped full of lovely ideas and great presentation.
I’m getting out my mules for a cool drink right now.
Everything looks peachy for a summer treat! Sounds so refreshing. I am going to try this idea. Thank you
