Ingredients
  

For the peach margarita
  • 1 large ripe peach (peeled and pitted)
  • 2 tsp honey or agave nectar
  • 2 oz tequila blanco
  • 0.75 oz triple sec
  • 1.75 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
For the garnish
  • fresh mint
  • 1 peach slice

Method
 

  1. Wash the peach thoroughly, then peel and pit it. Cut the peach in half. While you're working with fresh citrus, cut a lime in half and set aside for rimming. Pour sea salt into a small shallow dish. Rub the lime around the rim of a rocks glass, then dip the rim into the salt, rotating to coat evenly. Set the prepared glass aside.
  2. Slice one half of the prepared peach into chunks and add to a blender with the honey or agave nectar. Blend until completely smooth and transfer to a small bowl or measuring cup. This concentrated puree will be your flavor foundation. I like to make this puree first so it has time to chill slightly while you prep the rest of the drink.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice. Add the peach puree from Step 2, then pour in the tequila blanco, triple sec, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Add a small pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and cold. The salt amplifies both the citrus and peach notes, so don't skip it!
  4. Add fresh ice to the salt-rimmed glass from Step 1. Strain the cocktail from the shaker through a fine-mesh strainer into the prepared glass, pouring slowly to leave behind any ice chips or pulp for a smooth texture. Top the drink with a peach slice and a sprig of fresh mint, positioning them so they're visible and add visual appeal.
