Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen for this margarita?

While frozen peaches are ideal for creating that perfect slushy consistency without watering down your drink, you can definitely use fresh ones. Just ensure they are very ripe and sweet, and you'll need to add about 1-2 cups of ice to the blender to achieve the desired frozen texture.

What type of tequila should I use for a frozen peach margarita?

A silver (blanco) tequila is typically the best choice for frozen margaritas. Its unaged, clean, and crisp agave flavor allows the sweet peach and tart lime notes to shine through beautifully. Reposado can also work if you prefer a slight oakiness, but avoid au00f1ejo as its complex profile might overpower the delicate fruit.

How can I make a non-alcoholic version of this peach margarita?

Creating a delicious virgin frozen peach margarita is simple! Just omit the tequila and triple sec. You can substitute the triple sec with an extra splash of orange juice, a non-alcoholic orange syrup, or simply increase the simple syrup slightly for sweetness. Add a little extra lime juice to maintain the classic margarita tang.

Can I make this frozen peach margarita ahead of time?

For the very best frosty consistency, it's recommended to blend and serve frozen margaritas immediately. However, you can blend the mixture and store it in an airtight container in the freezer for a few hours. You may need to briefly re-blend it with a tiny splash of water or lime juice before serving to restore its smooth, pourable texture.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare your glasses. If desired, moisten the rim of two margarita glasses with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into a shallow plate of salt or sugar to coat evenly.
Step 2: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen peach slices, silver tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup.
Step 3: Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches a thick, slushy consistency. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.
Step 4: Taste the margarita mixture and adjust for sweetness or tartness. Add more simple syrup for a sweeter drink, or a splash more lime juice for extra tang.
Step 5: Pour the blended frozen peach margarita into the prepared, chilled glasses.
Step 6: Garnish each glass with a fresh lime wedge and a slice of peach. Serve immediately and enjoy your ultimate summer sip!

Notes

For an extra frosty drink, chill your glasses in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before serving. You can also adjust the amount of simple syrup based on the sweetness of your peaches and your personal preference.
