Description
This Peach Margarita is a refreshing, fruity twist on the classic cocktail! Made with just four simple ingredients, it’s the perfect drink for summer gatherings, happy hours, or a relaxing evening. Sweet peaches blend beautifully with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur for a smooth and delicious sip every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 parts silver tequila (I used Jose Quervo)
- 1 and 1/2 parts peach schnapps
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup peach nectar*
- Ice
Goya sells a brand that is readily available in supermarkets. Alternatively, you could thaw frozen peaches (about 1 peach worth) and puree with a tablespoon of superfine sugar.
Lime-Sugar for the Rim of your Glass
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Combine the tequila, peach schnapps, peach nectar, and juice from one lime in a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. Shake for about 10-15 seconds and serve in a lime-sugar rimmed glass with ice cubes.
- For the Lime-Sugar
- Combine sugar and lime zest (I vigorously shake them together in a small ziploc bag). Pour out onto a small plate. Using the lime that you just used for the margarita, rub it around the outside edge of your glass to moisten the rim. Rotate your glass rim through the lime-sugar.
Notes
- Swap peach schnapps for Cointreau or triple sec for a slightly different flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding ½ oz simple syrup or agave nectar if needed.
- Make it a mocktail by replacing tequila with club soda or ginger ale.
- Use frozen peaches for an extra refreshing frozen margarita.
