    These sweet Peach Cocktails will have you dreaming of warm summer days! The peach flavor will take your love for vodka, rum, or tequila to a new level! If you prefer a non-alcoholic peach drink, we’ll show you how to make that too!

    Why We Love Peaches in Cocktails

    The peach is the star of the show in fresh peach cocktails, and for a GOOD reason. The natural sweetness, combined with a hint of tartness, brings a nice balance of flavors to your drink. 

    From a fresh peach margarita to a peachy twist on a classic mojito, you are about to experience a burst of sun-ripened joy.

    CHEERS to a peachy summer!

    5 Ways to Add Peach Flavors to Your Drink

    • Fresh Peach: This is my favorite way! Sliced, muddled, or blended, fresh peaches add a natural sweet and slightly tart flavor to your drink. The beauty of fresh peaches lies in their ability to add a burst of fruity, seasonal goodness to your cocktails.
    • Frozen Peach: Adding frozen peach helps to chill your drink and produces a frosty and velvety texture. Simply blend frozen peaches with ice, your favorite alcohol, and a touch of citrus for a delicious slushy that’s perfect for sipping by the pool or on a hot summer day.
    • Peach Puree or Peach Juice: This is the cheapest and most convenient way to infuse your drinks with peach flavors. Simply mix and serve!
    • Peach Syrup: It provides sweetness and a concentrated peach flavor without the need for fresh or frozen peaches. You can use it all year round.  
    • Peach-flavored spirits: They can add a burst of peach flavors to cocktails and mixed drinks. My favorites are peach schnapps, peach vodka, and peach bourbon. 

    Tips for Crafting the Perfect Peach Cocktail

    • For the best peach cocktails, I recommend using fresh peaches to infuse your drink with the natural peach goodness. Buy ripe peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
    • Balance the peach’s sweet flavor with citrus such as lemon juice or lime juice.
    • The right spirit can significantly enhance the flavor of your peach cocktail. For a lighter, fruity profile, opt for vodka or white rum. If you want a richer taste, whiskey or bourbon can be a great choice.
    • Add fresh herbs such as basil and mint for some extra depth of complexity. 
    • Adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more peach or citrus to your preferred flavor balance.
    • Don’t forget to chill your drink before serving to make it extra refreshing. You can pre-chill your glasses and use lots of ice.

    How to Make a Peach Cocktail

    1️⃣ (Optional) Pre-chill glasses and rim them with lime juice and salt if you prefer.

    2️⃣ Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 20 seconds. Adjust the sweetness or sour flavor to your preference.

    3️⃣ Strain the drink into the glass filled with ice. 

    4️⃣ Garnish with an optional lime wedge, peach slices, or fresh herbs.

    All the recipes below are for a single serving.
