Peach Margarita Cocktail Recipe
This peach margarita is all about fresh fruit flavors meeting up with tequila and lime. It’s basically summer in a glass.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Citrus Juicer: For fresh lime juice.
- Cocktail glass (preferably a salt-rimmed margarita glass)
- Cutting board and knife
- Blender (if making frozen version)
Ingredients
For two peach margaritas:
- Silver tequila 3 oz 90ml
- Triple sec or orange liqueur 1.5 oz 45ml
- Fresh lime juice 1.5 oz 45ml
- Peach puree or nectar 3 oz 90ml
- Agave syrup or simple syrup 0.5 oz 15ml
- Fresh peach slices 1 peach sliced
- Ice cubes 2 cups
- Coarse salt For rimming glasses
- Lime wedges For garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the glasses: Run a lime wedge around each glass rim, dip in coarse salt, and fill with ice. Set aside.
- Make peach puree (if using fresh peaches): Peel and pit 1-2 ripe peaches. Blend until smooth. Strain if you want it extra silky.
- Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, toss in ice, tequila, triple sec, lime juice, peach puree, and agave syrup.
- Shake well: Shake hard for 15-20 seconds. You’ll know it’s ready when the shaker feels frosty.
- Strain and serve: Pour the mix into your prepared glasses. Top with peach slices and a lime wedge.
- Want it frozen? Just blend everything with 2 cups of ice instead of shaking. Pour and enjoy that slushy goodness.
Notes
Leftover peach puree? Pop it in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze it in cubes for your next round.
For a booze-free version, swap tequila and triple sec for more peach nectar and maybe a splash of orange juice.
Peach sweetness can be all over the place, so taste and add more agave syrup if you feel like it’s missing something.
Feeling adventurous? Drop in a thin jalapeño slice when you shake (just fish it out before pouring).
