Fresh Peach Margaritas

The summer kicked off with a blast of heat and humidity. Sipping on chilled Fresh Peach Margaritas is a most delightful way to cool down on a sultry July evening. 

Sweet, fresh peaches are a highlight of summer. This Peach Cocktail has all the loveliness you’d expect in a margarita, except with the addition of sweetened peach puree. They’re incredibly delicious!!

Why You Should Make these Margaritas

We have a terrific produce stand down the street. Their tender sweet corn and ripe, juicy peaches are my two favorite summer foods. Right now, we’re savoring fresh Georgia peaches, then we’ll get an east coast crop before local Indiana and Michigan peaches are harvested.

• If you have access to fresh, sweet, seasonal peaches, these margaritas will rock your world!
• There are only so many peach pies and cobblers you can make. Try a cocktail instead.
• Entertaining on the 4th of July or anytime during the summer? You’ll wow your guests with this margarita recipe!

I set always set aside some of this luscious fruit for a signature cocktail.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Make the Best Margaritas

Margaritas aren’t complicated, but here are some tips for making perfect peach margaritas!

• For the best results, you must start with the peak of the season fruit. If your peaches aren’t ripe and flavorful, your margaritas will be lackluster.
• PRO-Tip: Decent fresh peaches are not always available, so you could definitely try making these with canned peaches. Use 4 peach halves instead of the two fresh peaches. Peaches are canned at their prime, so the flavor should be wonderful, too. If your peaches are covered in heavy syrup, you may want to rinse them off before you puree.
• Freshly squeezed lime juice is imperative, too. Don’t even think of buying anything in a bottle.
• To balance the tart lime, use a top-notch sweetener, I love organic sugar.
• For a beautiful presentation, garnish your glass with a thin slice of lime or peach. I use a knife to make a cut from the rind or peel to the middle of the slice and use that opening to hook the fruit on the cup.
• If you like some added bling, dip the rim of your glass into lime juice, then into sugar (or salt if that’s your preference).

Fresh Peach Margaritas Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Yield 2 servings

A summery twist on the classic Margarita made with juicy fresh peaches

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh peach puree (about 2 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, cut into pieces, and pureed in a blender or food processor)
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 ounces tequila
• 1-ounce fresh lime juice
• 1/2 ounce of Grand Marnier (or your favorite orange liqueur)
• Sugar for rims of glasses
• Lime slices and/or peach slices to garnish, optional

Instructions

1. Whisk together peach puree and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Taste and add more sugar if needed. Whisk in the tequila, lime juice, and Grand Marnier. Taste and adjust to your preferences.
2. Pour a bit of water onto a small flat plate. Sprinkle sugar over a second small plate. Dip the rim of the glasses into the water, then dip them into the sugar to make a sugar rim.
3. Garnish margaritas with sliced fruit. Serve margaritas over ice.
4. For a virgin peach spritzer, combine peach puree, sugar and then top the glass with cold club soda or lemon-lime soda. Makes one.

Notes

This recipe can be adapted to your liking. I tend to go light on the liquor, so taste first and tweak to your tastes. If your peaches aren't sweet enough, you may need to add more sugar.
