Where it came from
The Peach Tart is not a widely recognized classic cocktail with a documented history or specific origin. Its name suggests a flavor profile, but not a standard recipe or an established place in cocktail lore.
Without a clear recipe, it's difficult to place the Peach Tart within a specific cocktail family. It doesn't appear to be a variation of a known sour, fizz, or Collins. It's an open canvas, really.
You wouldn't typically order a Peach Tart expecting a specific drink in most bars. If you did, you'd be asking for a bartender to improvise something peachy and tart. Good luck with that.
What it tastes like
Without a specific recipe, describing the exact flavor profile of a Peach Tart is a guess. The name suggests a balance of sweet peach and a tart component, likely from citrus or another acidic mixer. The specific ingredients would dictate the nuance.
The ABV would entirely depend on the spirits and quantities used in a hypothetical recipe. If it were built like a standard sour with 2 oz of a base spirit, it would likely be similar in strength to a strong craft beer, perhaps around 15-20% ABV, but again, this is purely speculative.
The technique
Building a Peach Tart without a recipe means starting from scratch. Common methods for fruit and tart cocktails include shaking with ice to chill and dilute, then straining into a suitable glass. Glassware would likely be a coupe, Nick & Nora, or a rocks glass, depending on the intended serve.
The only technique tip that matters here is knowing how to balance flavors on the fly if you're inventing it. Achieving that sweet and tart balance, plus the right dilution, without a recipe is all about taste testing and adjusting. Good luck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to what people search for after Googling this drink.
What is in a Peach Tart?
Currently, there is no standardized recipe for a Peach Tart cocktail. Its contents would depend entirely on who is making it and what ingredients they choose to include.
Is a Peach Tart a real cocktail?
It's a concept based on a name, rather than a recognized classic or common modern drink with a fixed recipe. Most bartenders would need clarification or a recipe to make one.
How do I make a Peach Tart?
Without a specific recipe, you'd have to invent one. Consider a base spirit, a peach component (liqueur, puree, or fresh fruit), a tart element (lemon or lime juice), and a sweetener.
What kind of peach flavor should I use?
That depends on your intended recipe. Peach schnapps, peach liqueur, fresh peach puree, or even muddled fresh peaches could all contribute peach flavor, but it's up to the creator.
