Yep, you can definitely tell I'm a new Georgia resident. I'm going crazy about peaches this month with my easy Peach Cobbler with Cake Mix and now this dreamy Peach Vodka Cocktail.
Table of contents
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 peaches 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 Bake, Yogurt Peach Smoothie, or Peach Almond Muffins?
Fresh peach options
This is a super easy cocktail to make and oh so refreshing. The fresh peach puree just makes this drink. Of course, you can't always find fresh peaches, but you can opt to replace the peach with peach puree, peach nectar, frozen or canned peaches.
I used my small chopper 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 or pomegranate juice 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 drink winner. Truly it is one of the best peach cocktails!
