I am a refreshing cocktail kind of lady. Lychee martini? Yes, please! Strawberry smash? Heck yes! But a fresh fruit twist on a classic margarita is absolutely perfection.
📖Why My Recipe Works
- Fruity and Refreshing - This fresh peach cocktail is the perfect blend of sweet and citrusy with a hint of sweetness. Whether you prefer on the rocks or frozen margaritas, it's perfect for warm summer months!
- No Peach Schnapps - Because Schnapps are terrible and I want to save you from that pain.
- No Boiling - You don't need to boil the peaches to peel them using my easy method (see below photos).
🧾Ingredient Notes
- Peaches- I love using fresh peaches but frozen work in a pinch.
- Tequila - Use any tequila brand you prefer. For the best flavor, use a high-quality blanco tequila or reposado tequila.
- Orange Liqueur - You can use triple sec, Cointreau, or a dry curacao (NOT blue!). For a less boozy cocktail, try using plain orange juice.
- Lime Juice - Fresh or bottled works fine.
- Simple Syrup - For a richer flavor, try demerara simple syrup, but I typically use my microwave simple syrup for each.
- Extras- Kosher salt for the rim and slices of peaches and limes for garnish.
Spicy Peach Margarita Variation
To make a lightly spicy version, swap the simple syrup for jalapeno simple syrup.
⏲️How to Make a Peach Margarita
- To peel the peaches, cut them into 8 sections, twist to free the pit. Peel the skin off each slice.
- Puree the peaches. For fresh, I use an immersion blender but use a blender if they are frozen.
- Put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. When the outside frosts over it is ready.
- To make this recipe frozen, add all the ingredients to a blender with 1 ½ cups of ice. Blend it until slushy and pour into a glass to enjoy!
