    Peaches & Rum Cocktail - A Peach Pie Punch

    Published: Aug 23, 2023 by The Sage Apron - This post may contain affiliate links.

    Jump to Recipe

    This peaches and rum cocktail is a strong tiki inspired sipper made with dark rum, lime, Amaro de Angostura and homemade peach syrup. It's a fun recipe that balances the flavors of peach and spice and tastes just like a bite of peach pie - with a punch!

    This peach punch recipe is a cocktail inspired by both old-school tiki drinks and modern American cocktail culture. It's both fruity and booze-forward supported by notes of warm spice and tart citrus.

    This recipe uses a homemade peach simple syrup that is a fun way to add juicy peach flavor to lots of cocktails and mocktails. Try it in sweet tea a peach Moscow mule or our delicious peach daiquiri recipe.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for a rum and peach pie punch cocktail.
    Ingredient quantities can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
    • Dark rum - Dark rum is a sugar cane spirit that has been aged in charred oak barrels. The aging process allows the rum to take on a brown color and rich notes of vanilla and caramel. Aged rum is common throughout the Caribbean regions and a classic ingredient in tiki style cocktails. We used Appleton rum because it's delicious, inexpensive and great for mixing. For a splurge, try this cocktail with Plantation OFTD - it's incredible.
    • Lime Juice
    • Peach Simple Syrup - See How To Make Peach Simple Syrup below or check out the complete peach syrup post for more details, recipes and serving suggestions.
    • Amaro de Angostura - One of our favorite cocktail ingredients to keep on our back bar. Read more below.
    • Almond Extract - Optional (not pictured). A couple dashes of almond extract add a delicious flavor, but you can feel free to omit it, if preferred.
    • Nutmeg - A grating of fresh nutmeg perfectly compliments the drinks spice.

    What is Amaro de Angostura?

    Amaro de Angostura is a molasses spirit from Trinidad and Tobago. The spirit is aged and infused with the flavors of classic Angostura bitters. Amaro de Angostura can be enjoyed on its own or added to cocktails for a touch of exotic, tropical flavor.

    Similar to the amaro spirits of Italy, this unique Caribbean spirit has sweet notes of caramel, cinnamon and chocolate with a distinct bitter finish. It is a digestif that lends notes of warm spice and balance to many original cocktails. We also use Amaro de Angostura in our apple cider whiskey sour recipe.

    2. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce to simmer for 3 - 5 minutes. Use a spoon to break up the peaches while they are simmering. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.
