It's both refreshing and delicate, and with the recipe below, you can make it using fresh fruit or peach juice, you choose!

Ingredients

This stunning Peach Margarita combines delicate floral flavors with soft peppery tequila, orange-flavored liqueur, fresh lime juice, and sweet honey. Always use quality ingredients when making easy co*cktails with minimal ingredients. You'll need:

• Peaches:medium peach (peeled) for the margarita mixture and extra peach slices for garnish. ⅓ cup of peach juice can be used instead. The thick juice is sold in a glass jar.
• Honey:or peach syrup. Optional for added sweetness.
• Blanco or Silver Tequila:use your favorite brand.
• Cointreau or Triple Sec:these orange-flavored liquors will sweeten and balance this co*cktail.
• Lime juice:freshly squeezed is best.
• Salt or Tajin:optional for rimming. Tajin is a slightly spicy Mexican seasoning blend with dried chili and lime. It will add a lovely little ‘zing’ to the drink.
• Mint leaves:optional for garnish. Wash before use.

How to Make a Peach Margarita

Simple to make and the perfect co*cktail for any occasion, you'll see that making this peach margarita is a breeze! Here is how:

1. Prep the Glass
   If you love a rimmed glass, rub a lime wedge along the rim and dip it into Tajin seasoning. Set it aside to dry.
2. Blend the Peach
   Chop and blend the peach until smooth, adding honey or peach syrup for extra sweetness if you prefer, or simply use store-bought peach juice. You can also make a chunkier peach puree in the co*cktail shaker with a pestle.
3. Fill & Shake
   Fill a co*cktail shaker with ice, blended peach mixture, tequila, Cointreau or Triple Sec, and lime juice. Secure the top and shake well until the sides are frosted.
4. Serve & Garnish
   Fill the rimmed glass with ice and pour the peach margarita mixture through a strainer to hold the ice back in the shaker. Garnish with peach slices and mint leaves.
