Peach Margarita (Frozen or On The Rocks)
There’s really nothing quite like this peach margarita and I have an amazing recipe! The key ingredient is homemade peach puree. Making your own peach puree may seem excessive, but I promise the steps are incredibly quick and easy – and the results are worth your efforts. Plus, you can make it ahead of time!
Do you like your margaritas frozen or on the rocks? I’ve included easy instructions for both below, so you can have it either way you prefer. Honestly, there’s no bad way to enjoy a margarita this good. That peach flavor really shines on the rocks or frozen because of that wonderful fresh flavor.
It’s not just the puree that seals the deal on the peach flavor. Peach schnapps is also in the mix! It pairs beautifully with the margarita mix, tequila, and peaches to create the best balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Next time you need to taste a little sunshine in the form of a cocktail, look no further than this easy recipe.
Easy Steps to Make a Peach Margarita
- Prepare the peaches. Peel your peaches and place them in a pot. Mash them with your hands and remove the pits.
- Simmer until softened. Add the vanilla, lime juice, and sugar to the pot. Mix well, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 7-10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready to blend when the peaches are completely soft.
- Blend. Place the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth.
- Blend the margarita. Combine all of the measured ingredients in a blender. Pulse a couple of times to blend.
- Rim, pour, and enjoy! Rub rims of four glasses with a lime and dip each grass rim into the margarita salt. Fill glasses up with ice about half way and divide margarita mixture among the glasses. Garnish with fresh peaches and enjoy!
How to Make a Frozen Peach Margarita
- It’s really simple! Combine all of the ingredients (peach puree, margarita mix, peach schnapps, and tequila) with about 2 cups of ice in a strong blender that can blend ice well. Pulse until everything is blended smooth.
- You will want to keep the frozen margarita as more of a slushie consistency. It’s easier to drink when it’s not thick and uses less ice so your cocktail doesn’t become watered down too much.
How to Make It Ahead of Time
You can easily make the peach puree ahead of time! Prepare the peach puree as instructed in the recipe and let it cool to room temperature. Store the cooled peach puree in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. You can store it for about 2 days before making margaritas.

Make it Frozen:
- Note: it's best to make this frozen peach margarita to a slushy consistency rather that thick. Ice melts quite fast in a frozen margarita so you don't want to dilute the flavor too much.
- Combine the peach puree, margarita mix, tequila, and peach schnapps with about 2 cups of ice in a strong blender that can blende ice well. Pulse until everything is blended smooth.
