This cocktail brings together a few things: my obsession with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemonade-iced-tea\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemonade-iced-tea\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arnold Palmers<\/a>, my ongoing love affair with margaritas and my borderline dangerous affection for any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-to-make-with-fresh-peaches\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-to-make-with-fresh-peaches\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peach recipe<\/a>. The result is a drink that&#8217;s sweet, tart, boozy and just southern enough to make you say &#8220;y&#8217;all&#8221; by accident.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-margaritas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-margaritas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">margarita recipe<\/a> has a zip of lime, the mellow charm of strong black tea, a whisper of peach liqueur and a tequila backbone that reminds you this is, in fact, happy hour. Whether you&#8217;re sipping solo with a book or passing a pitcher around with friends, this is the drink for sweltering evenings, chasing after fireflies and pretending the group chat can wait.<\/p>\n<h2>Porch Swing Margarita Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fresh-squeezed lime juice: <\/strong>This is what gives the margarita its signature zing. Always go for freshly squeezed over bottled because it tastes more bright and fresh. You can juice the limes the same way you&#8217;d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-juice-lemons-the-easy-way\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-juice-lemons-the-easy-way\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">juice lemons<\/a>: in a food processor or by using a citrus squeezer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simple syrup:<\/strong> You can buy it at the store, but you can also prep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-syrup-2\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-syrup-2\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade simple syrup<\/a> just as easily. Simple syrup is traditionally made from equal parts sugar and water, but many bartenders use a rich simple syrup that uses a two-to-one sugar-to-water ratio for a sweeter, thicker syrup. Either way, this liquid sweetener balances out the lime and tea.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peach liqueur:<\/strong> This sweet, fruity spirit is the flavor pivot that takes the margarita from cantina to porch swing. For a more casual vibe, go for something like Peachtree schnapps. For a deeper fruit flavor, pick up a higher-end peach liqueur like Giffard Creme de Peche.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blanco tequila:<\/strong> Clean, crisp and full of agave flavor, blanco tequila is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-tequila-for-margaritas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-tequila-for-margaritas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best tequila for margaritas<\/a> because it lets the tea and peach flavors shine without overpowering them. Don&#8217;t waste your top-shelf tequila, but skip the plastic jug too\u2014something mid-range like Espol\u00f2n or Cazadores works beautifully.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Double-strength iced tea:<\/strong> This is the real southern twist! You&#8217;ll want to brew your tea using twice as many tea bags as the directions instruct to make it bold enough to hold up to the tequila and citrus. I used Luzianne iced tea bags and brewed 2 cups of water with two tea bags, and I did not lengthen it with cold water. I just threw it in the fridge for a while. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-perfect-iced-tea-at-home\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-perfect-iced-tea-at-home\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make iced tea<\/a> via the cold brew method as well. It doesn&#8217;t matter how you make it, just make sure the tea is concentrated and not watered down. You can even brew a whole batch ahead of time and store it in the fridge for spontaneous sipping.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"color: #333f48;\">Lime wheel or fruity garnish:<\/strong> A classic lime wheel keeps things traditional. Or, dress up your drink with fresh peach slices, mint sprigs or even a skewer of summer berries if you&#8217;re feeling extra. It&#8217;s like jewelry for your drink\u2014optional but highly recommended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Fill your glass with ice<\/h3>\n<p>Fill a Mason jar or double rocks glass with ice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Crushed or pebble ice is a great option for a super hot day, but it will water the drink down a little bit.
