I had every intention of turning these peaches into a fresh white sangria.
But then chips and salsa snacking happened during happy hour. (What’s new?)
And you know what I like to drink with my chips and salsa. (What else?)
So yeah, rain check on the sangria. (Delicious decision.)
Actually, of all the fresh fruit margaritas I’ve made in the past, I was surprised to realize that I had never tried making them with fresh peaches! Probably because any ripe peach in my house usually gets eaten before it makes its way into a recipe.
But I had an unusual abundance of peaches leftover needing to be used before I took off on my trip to Europe. So for an impromptu happy hour, I decided to just blend them into a simple puree and make fresh peach margaritas. They were so simple!
I began with the obvious first ingredient — fresh peaches.
(Although if you’re making these in the winter, you can thaw out some frozen peaches. I just don’t think they’re quite as flavorful.)
Then peel (if you want) and pit and blend them until they form a puree. It will be thick, but don’t worry.
Then measure out the amount of puree you need along with tequila, Triple Sec, fresh lime juice and agave (or honey). And shake the heck out of them in a shaker (or stir them together) until smooth and well-combined.
Pour them over ice to serve them on the rocks. And for something different feel free to garnish them with a fresh peach slice instead of limes.
Look how cute they turned out!
(Ok, that’s the food stylist in me talking.)
More importantly, let me tell you how delicious they turned out. Seriously, the sweetness of the fresh peaches pairs perfectly with the tart lime juice. SO good! I considered blending these with ice to make them frozen — which you could totally do — but I liked how the peach puree made for a slightly thickened and decadent-tasting margarita on the rocks.
Definitely worth the sacrifice of a batch of delicious ripe peaches. And definitely the perfect pairing with chips and salsa, if you’re also so inclined. Cheers!
This fresh peach margarita recipe is sweet, simple to make, and so satisfying!
Ingredients
Scale
1/3 cup fresh peach puree (*see instructions below*)
2 ounces silver tequila
1.5 ounces lime juice
1 ounce Triple Sec (or freshly-squeeze orange juice to make it lighter)
1 Tablespoon agave or honey
optional garish: rim salt and fresh peach slice
Instructions
Add all ingredients together in a shaker. Shake for 15 seconds until combined. Serve over ice in a glass that has been rimmed with salt and garnished with a fresh peach slice.
*To make fresh peach puree, simply peel and pit a fresh peach and puree it in a blender until smooth. 1 medium peach = approximately 1/2 cup puree (but measure to be sure).
WOW i could definitely kick back with one of these right about now.. they look too delicious (anything is better with tequila). i love that you used peach puree too, i can imagine how good it would have tasted. thanks Ali!
I made these last weekend and everyone loved them! I put the leftovers in the freezer and they thawed perfectly yesterday for another celebration. Thanks!
Made this for a friend’s birthday, everyone who drank it could not stop telling me how good it was! I will definitely make it a few more times this summer!
We have a champagne white peach tree, abundant.
Our peaches are so very sweet, No honey needed!
These made beautiful cocktails. A slice of peach and a sprig of mint for garnish.
Also purée a mint leaf, or a Serrano pepper for a kick.
I’ve made both and very delicious!!
Beautiful cocktail

I haven’t made them yet, but curious to know if the peach puree could be made ahead and in a larger quantity to bring them to a picnic and combine ingredients there.

Made this with some farm fresh peaches. Everyone loved it. I also put an ounce of plain Topo-Chico to give it a little fizz.
We’ve been making these at least once a week all summer long for years! So good! My husband thinks I’m a master mixologist ?
YUM. big hit
So I tried this and tripled the recipe. Instead of peaches I used nectarines and it’s fabulous! Try it with apricots,peaches or nectarine, why not.
Not only were they pretty, they were delicious!! Thanks for the recipe! Love peach season!

Good stuff. Honey on half the rim and salt on the other half.
