A Ginger Peach Fizz Cocktail is both refreshing and honestly pretty easy to whip up. It’s got juicy peaches, spicy ginger, and a hit of sparkling bubbles.
This drink is perfect when I want something easy that still feels a little special, especially on a warm day or at a small gathering.
I like how the sweet and spicy flavors mix together with the fizziness. The recipe uses basic ingredients, so I can usually put it together with what I have at home.
If you’re looking for a bright, fizzy drink that stands out from typical cocktails, this Ginger Peach Fizz is a good choice.
Ginger Peach Fizz Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- First, I need a shaker for mixing the liquid, since it blends the flavors better than just stirring in a glass.
- I also use a muddler to mash the peach and ginger, which releases their flavor right into the drink. If I don’t have a muddler handy, the back of a wooden spoon works fine in a pinch.
- A fine mesh strainer helps keep any fruit or ginger bits out of the glass.
- I use a jigger or measuring spoons to keep the amounts right (not that I don’t sometimes eyeball it, but precision helps).
- Finally, I grab a highball or Collins glass for serving, and a long spoon for stirring in the soda.
Ingredients
- This drink needs ripe peaches fresh ginger, and a base of vodka for a simple flavor.
- I usually go with about half a ripe peach peeled and diced, to get enough of that peach taste.
- I slice around half an inch of fresh ginger root peeled and chopped, for a warm, spicy bite.
- Then it’s 2 ounces of vodka which lets the fruit and ginger shine without taking over.
- Half an ounce of fresh lemon juice gives a tart balance and 1 ounce of simple syrup adds just enough sweetness.
- For the fizziness I add 2 to 3 ounces of chilled club soda—sometimes more if I’m in the mood.
- Now and then I swap in flavored sparkling water for a little extra peach or ginger flavor.
- For garnish a peach slice or a sprig of mint does the trick.
Instructions
- First, I put the diced peach and chopped ginger in a cocktail shaker. I use a muddler to press them until they’re juicy and fragrant (it smells amazing at this point).
- Next, I pour in the vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. I fill the shaker with ice and shake it well, about 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
- I strain the mix into a glass filled with fresh ice. I top it with the club soda and stir gently—don’t want to lose those bubbles.
- Last, I add the peach or mint garnish. Serve the drink right away, before the fizz fades.

Tasting Notes
When I take a sip of the Ginger Peach Fizz, the first thing I notice is the fresh peach flavor. It’s sweet but not too sugary—just the way I like it.
The natural fruit taste sets a light, bright tone. Next comes the ginger, which adds a gentle spice and a bit of warmth.
I think it matches well with the peach, making the drink feel balanced. The bubbles from the soda water make it feel extra refreshing.
I notice a mild citrus note if I add a squeeze of lemon. That’s optional, but it gives a nice tart edge.
Texture:
- Smooth
- Lightly carbonated
- No thick or heavy feeling
Aromas I detect:
- Fresh peach
- Hints of ginger spice
- Subtle citrus (if lemon is added)
The finish is clean. The ginger warmth lingers for just a moment, leaving my mouth feeling refreshed.
Substitute
Sometimes I need to make a Ginger Peach Fizz, but I’m missing an ingredient or two. There are a few swaps I’ve tried that work well enough.
If I’m out of ginger beer, I just grab ginger ale instead. It’s a little sweeter, sure, but it still brings that gingery kick.
The peach part can be tricky. I don’t always have peach nectar sitting around, so I use peach juice or even muddle some canned peaches.
If I’m aiming for less sugar, I’ll look for a no-sugar-added brand. Not always easy to find, though.
Sometimes I want a non-alcoholic version. I just skip the booze, or swap it out for club soda so it keeps that fizz.
If I’m craving a bolder ginger flavor, I grate in a bit of fresh ginger. I’ll strain it first—no one wants a mouthful of pulp.
