What Is a Peach Margarita?

A Peach Margarita is a cocktail made with tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and peaches. You can make this twist on the classic Margarita by adding muddled fresh or frozen peaches, or peach schnapps.

4 Essential Peach Margarita Ingredients

A Peach Margarita is only as good as the quality of the ingredients you use, so to get the best results, opt for the best ingredients you can find:

  1. 1. Tequila: Great cocktails need a foundation of quality liquor. Tequila, made from the agave plant, has a distinct, herbaceous flavor that pairs well with a sweet, fruity liqueur., Silver tequila will highlight the peach fruit flavor. If you want something a little darker and more complex, choose a reposado or añejo (gold) tequila.
  2. 2. Lime: Skip the Margarita mix. Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key to making the best Margarita. Keep extra limes on hand for garnish.
  3. 3. Fresh or frozen peaches: If the season is right, it’s great to use fresh peaches; the aroma and flavor of fresh peaches are hard to beat. You can also use frozen peaches—just defrost them before using them. A slender peach wedge also makes a nice garnish for this cocktail.
  4. 4. Peach schnapps: For additional peach flavor, you can add good-quality peach schnapps to the mix.

Ingredients

  1. 1

    Wet the edge of your Margarita glasses with a lime or peach wedge.

  2. 2

    Using a shallow bowl or plate, coat the rims of the glasses in the kosher salt.

  3. 3

    Muddle the peach. Remove the pit, slice the peach, and muddle the peach slices with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon in the shaker. (The mixture will be thick, but once strained, it should be no pulpier than orange juice.)

  4. 4

    Add the ice, tequila, triple sec or peach schnapps, and lime juice to the cocktail shaker.

  5. 5

    Shake and strain the liquid into the prepped cocktail glasses.

  6. 6

    Garnish with lime wedges or peach slices.
