Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Cocktail:
  • 2 ripe peaches pitted and chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 4 oz tequila silver works best
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice about 2 limes
  • 1 oz agave syrup adjust based on sweetness preference
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Method: How to Make a Peach Mint Margarita
  • Prepare the Peaches: If using fresh peaches, wash, pit, and chop them into small pieces. For frozen peaches, allow them to slightly thaw for easier muddling.
  • Muddle the Mint and Peaches: In a cocktail shaker, add the chopped peaches and fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash them together until the peaches are broken down and the mint is fragrant. Be careful not to over-muddle; you want the mint to release its flavor without becoming bitter.
  • Add the Other Ingredients: Pour in the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want the mixture to be well combined and nicely chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Using a strainer, pour the mixture into glasses filled with ice. If desired, garnish with a few mint leaves and a slice of peach on the rim for a beautiful presentation.
  • Enjoy: Take a moment to appreciate your handiwork before enjoying this refreshing drink!
  • Variations
  • Fruity Twist: Substitute peaches with other fruits like mango, strawberries, or even watermelon for a fun variation.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a slice of jalapeño or a dash of chili powder for some heat.
  • Mocktail Version: Replace tequila with sparkling water or soda for a non-alcoholic version, and keep the other ingredients the same.
