This Georgia Peach Vodka Cocktail will become your new peach season favorite! Fresh pureed peaches mixed with orange juice and vodka then poured into a glass. Swirl in a little cranberry juice to give the peach that blush color and voila! A sweet peach in a glass! The perfect drink for warm summer days on your back porch.
Yep, you can definitely tell I'm a new Georgia resident. I'm going crazy about peaches this month with my easy 3-ingredient Peach Cobbler and now this dreamy Peach Vodka Cocktail. We have a farmer's market every Friday and I love perusing all the local produce to get the freshest, most tasty fruits and vegetables available. Since it's peach season, they're selling baskets of these fresh rosy/blush colored beauties. Not one to pass up any kind of fresh fruit, these made their way to my house. And now I'm busy having fun coming up with ways to use them in anything and everything. Anyone for Overnight French Toast Casserole, Peach Pie Smoothies or Peach Muffins?
This is a super easy cocktail to make and oh so refreshing. The fresh pureed peach just makes this drink. I used my small chopped to do all the mixing but you can easily use a large blender and make it by the pitcherful. I love the flavor of the orange juice mixed with the peach so I also doubled up a little on it by adding a small amount of Grand Marnier (my favorite liqueur). This is completely optional but does give the cocktail a smoother overall taste. You might want to opt for a small amount of agave to sweeten the mix depending on how sweet your peaches are.
The finish is what makes the drink look like a peach in a glass. When you pour the cranberry juice, or pomegranate juice works too, and give it a swirl, you can see the traces of rosy blush mixed with the peach tones. Isn't it pretty? Add a garnish of peach slices and a touch of mint to finish this Georgia peach winner.
