Fresh Peach Margaritas

Fresh peach puree, orange juice, and lime make these fun and fruity Margaritas extra fabulous!

Fresh Peach Margaritas Lately I’ve been all about the at-home happy hour. There’s just something about sitting out on our little patio – frosty margarita in hand – that makes Summer feel extra special. For so many years we lived in Brooklyn (and before that, Manhattan), so outdoor space – even a tiny one – feels completely luxurious.

I must also admit I’m a total cocktail snob. While I’ll happily drink a Miller Lite or cheap red wine, there is no place in my life for those crappy flavorless // overpriced // way too sweet margaritas many bars churn out. Uh uh. No thanks! I just can’t. I just won’t.

Fresh Peach Margaritas That’s where this utterly refreshing peach beauty comes in.

The base of this drink is a fresh peach puree created by very simply blending peaches, orange juice, and the tiniest bit of sugar together until smooth. It’s up to you if you want to peel the peaches; I chose not to but I don’t mind a chunkier puree.

Fresh Peach Margaritas Once the puree is ready, simply pour it into a few glasses, add ice, tequila, triple sec, and lime – then stir like crazy! You could also pour them into a cocktail shaker and combine them that way.

Fresh Peach Margaritas The next time you’re looking to jazz up an evening at home, shake up this cheerful cocktail and sip away! P.S. Serve these cocktails with my Summertime Cheese & Charcuterie Board for the ultimate at-home happy hour experience.

  5. Husband made these last night. Very good but very strong! He loved them but I will cut the liquor in mine next time as I am a “light weight”. Thank you!

    • Hi Emily. You could make the peach puree ahead of time, then make the drinks right before serving. You could also add the peach puree and tequila to a large pitcher, chill for up to 24 hours, then just set out glasses, ice, and lime for your guests.

  15. How did you get the rich color? When I tried making them mine turned out very frothy and a light pink/orange color. Any suggestions?

  16. These are great. Easy to prepare and tastes yummy. I like that it’s not sticky sweet like drinks made with syrupy mixes.
