Peach Margarita

Sharing is caring!

Nothing says summer quite like a fresh Peach Margarita made with ripe, juicy peaches. Sweet peach puree, fresh lime juice, tequila, and Cointreau come together for a cocktail that’s naturally fruity, bright, and incredibly refreshing.

If you’re a margarita fan like I am, this is one you’ll want to make on repeat all peach season long.

I picked up a big box of fresh peaches from the Fruit Truck and immediately started slicing and freezing them so I could enjoy drinks like this all summer.

Once you have homemade peach puree ready to go, mixing up a fresh margarita takes just minutes.

Why You’ll Love This

This Peach Margarita is everything I love about summer in one glass.

• Naturally sweet from fresh peaches
• Bright, fresh lime balances the sweetness
• Quick to make once your puree is prepared
• Perfect for backyard dinners, taco nights, or relaxing on the patio
• Easy to customize with a sugar or Tajín rim

The homemade peach puree really makes all the difference. It gives the cocktail fresh peach flavor instead of the artificial taste you get from many store-bought mixes.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll only need a handful of ingredients to make this refreshing cocktail.

• Silver tequila
• Cointreau
• Fresh squeezed lime juice
• Homemade peach puree
• Ice
• Fresh peach slices for garnish

If you enjoy a sweeter margarita, stir in a drizzle of agave before shaking.

Make the Peach Puree

Fresh peaches are only truly juicy and delicious during the summer months, so I always try to take advantage while they’re in season.

To make the puree:

1. Peel and chop 3 to 4 ripe peaches.
2. Add them to a blender.
3. Pour in a small splash of water.
4. Add about ⅛ cup sugar.
5. Squeeze in the juice from half a lemon.
6. Blend until completely smooth.

Store the puree in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, making it easy to mix up Peach Margaritas whenever the mood strikes.

If you end up buying more peaches than you can use, freeze them for later. Simply slice the peaches, arrange them on a baking sheet for a flash freeze, then transfer the frozen slices to a freezer bag. They’ll stay separate and won’t freeze into one large clump.

How to Make It

Once your puree is ready, the cocktail comes together in just a couple of minutes.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add:

• 2 ounces silver tequila
• 1 ounce Cointreau
• 1 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
• 2 ounces peach puree

Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until everything is well chilled.

Fill a margarita glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail over the top. Garnish with a fresh peach slice and enjoy immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the sweetest flavor.
• Fresh lime juice is worth the extra minute—it really brightens the cocktail.
• Chill your glass beforehand for an extra refreshing drink.
• Add a splash of agave if you prefer a sweeter margarita.
• Shake long enough to fully chill and slightly dilute the drink for the perfect balance.

For an extra festive touch, rim your glass before pouring. I like to run a lime wedge around about three-quarters of the rim, then dip it in sugar. If you enjoy a little heat, Tajín is a fantastic option. The spicy, salty seasoning pairs beautifully with the sweet peaches.

What to Serve With It

This Peach Margarita is made for warm-weather meals. It pairs especially well with:

• Tacos
• Grilled chicken
• Fresh salsa and tortilla chips
• Guacamole
• Shrimp or fish tacos
• Mexican-inspired appetizers

The sweet peach flavor complements spicy foods beautifully.
