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. 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. 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. 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. Peach schnapps: For additional peach flavor, you can add good-quality peach schnapps to the mix.

Ingredients

2 lime wedges (or 2 peach wedges)
kosher salt (coarse salt)
1 ripe to overripe peach
Ice cubes
3 ounces tequila (tequila blanco, tequila añejo, or tequila reposado)
2 ounces orange liqueur, such as triple sec or Cointreau, or peach schnapps
2 ounces fresh lime juice

1
Wet the edge of your Margarita glasses with a lime or peach wedge.

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

Add the ice, tequila, triple sec or peach schnapps, and lime juice to the cocktail shaker.
5
Shake and strain the liquid into the prepped cocktail glasses.
6
Garnish with lime wedges or peach slices.
