The best lightened up fresh peach margaritas is a light and summery drink– a perfect twist on the classic margarita. This drink is naturally sweetened with agave, fresh peaches, orange juice, and lime juice and is sure to be a hit at your next pool party.

As George du Maurier says, “An apple is an excellent thing – until you have tried a peach”. Especially in a marg!

Easy summer cocktail recipe. Fresh peach margarita.

Ingredients

fresh and ripe yellow peaches – peeling off the skin will result in the smoothest margs 🙂
orange juice – I like to use freshly squeezed or cold pressed
lime juice – fresh is best!
agave
blanco tequila
ice
mint (for garnish)

How to make a fresh peach margarita

Peel and Blend – Remove the pits from your fresh peaches and use a sharp knife to gently peel the skins off. Place the peaches, orange juice and lime juice into a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape the sides.
Add to Shaker – Add your blended ingredients, agave and tequila to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.
Pour Over Ice – Pour the mixture over a serving glass with ice and top with mint and fresh peaches if desired. Enjoy!

Commonly Asked Questions

Do I need a cocktail shaker to make margaritas?

Where there is a will there is a way! You could use any container with a very secure lid (reusable coffee cups or tupperware!) to shake up your margarita. A beautiful shaker though is seriously a worthwhile investment. The one pictured is one of my favorite purchases and you can buy it here. Such beautiful lead free crystal and way more affordable than similar options.

Can I double the recipe?

Making margaritas for more than two? Easily double the recipe to serve more.

Do I have to use tequila in my margarita?

Yep! There’ no other option here 🙂
