If you want to know how to make a Peach Margarita, here are the key steps you should follow:

• Pre-chill your shaker by stirring a few good quality ice cubes in it; then remove the ice and excess water;
• Pre-chill a cocktail glass by storing it in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving, or filling it up with ice while concocting the cocktail;
• Add all the ingredients in the shaker;
• Add more good quality ice cubes and shake vigorously;
• Strain into the pre-chilled cocktail glass

To achieve the best Peach Margarita recipe, try adopting some, or all of the suggestions that follow, to elevate your drinking experience:

• Muddle or purée? This is completely up to you. You can find high quality, ready-to-use purées or opt for the actual fruit, muddling a few pieces of it in the bottom of your shaker, before adding your ingredients. Just remember that nothing beats freshness, for your Peach Margarita;
• Follow the seasons: if you opt for the fresh fruit to muddle, keep in mind that the availability of peaches has a seasonality that should be respected (although they can easily be found all year around nowadays). Peach Margarita can be described as a seasonal cocktail, so make sure you will mix it when the right time of the year arrives;
• Combine: the peachy ingredient could also be a peach liqueur, as many good quality ones are today available on the market. You could try substituting the actual fruit (so the purée or the juice) with it, or combine both variations according to your palate. Just remember to re-balance the other ingredients, as peach liqueur contains both alcohol and sugar, so it can get overpowering;
• Freeze!: Speaking of summer, if you feel like a seriously refreshing beverage but want to keep the essence of the Peach Margarita, you could try experimenting for its frozen version. Simply adapt the steps from our guide to Frozen Margarita to enjoy a frothy, iced delight.

A Peach Margarita is the perfect tipple during summer nights, and it is particularly fitting during parties of gathering. If you find yourself hosting a fairly large number of people, you could try mixing your Peach Margaritas in advance, pre-bottling them and pouring them when needed, so to save time on the preparation of each single drink. You could also think about organizing a pitcher or a punch bowl, for guests to serve themselves.
