Print Recipe

A refreshing peach jalapeño margarita balanced with spicy heat and a tangy salted Tajín rim, perfect for summer parties and casual hangouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (or frozen unsweetened peaches)
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, sliced (remove seeds for milder heat)
  • 2 oz (60 ml) tequila blanco
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz (30 ml) orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 1/2 oz (15 ml) agave syrup, adjust to taste
  • Salted Tajín seasoning for rimming the glass
  • Ice cubes for shaking and serving
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: extra jalapeño slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peach puree: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peeled, chopped peaches with 1 tablespoon of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until peaches soften but retain their fresh color. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Infuse the jalapeño: While peaches cool, add sliced jalapeño to the peach puree to infuse heat. Let sit for 5 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids, leaving a flavorful, spicy peach liquid.
  3. Rim the glass: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the margarita glass, then dip it into a shallow dish filled with salted Tajín seasoning. Set aside.
  4. Mix the margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz tequila blanco, 1 oz orange liqueur, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1/2 oz agave syrup, and 2 oz of the strained peach-jalapeño puree.
  5. Add ice: Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
  6. Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a thin jalapeño slice or a sprig of fresh mint if desired.

Notes

Do not boil the peach puree; simmer gently to preserve fresh flavor. Strain puree for a smooth drink. Toast Tajín lightly before rimming for enhanced aroma. Adjust jalapeño slices to control heat. Prepare puree and infusion up to 2 days ahead for convenience.
