Notes

Helpful tips

If fresh peaches out of season, you can also use frozen peaches in this recipe. I've made them with both and you can't tell the difference in taste. The only thing that I've found is frozen peaches tend to make the peach margarita a deeper orange color but the peach flavor is the same.
I'm using a blanco tequila, but you can also make this with reposado or anejo.
In the past, I've used a blender with the blades in the cover but now I use a classic blender like my Vitamix. They both work, although I prefer the classic type of blender because you don't get a mess when you need to open the top to add more ice.
I like to use a premium orange liqueur in my margarita's but triple sec works just as well.
To sweeten most of my margarita's, I use simple syrup because sometimes I find the flavor of agave syrup too cloying. But use whatever sugar syrup you prefer.
I don't peel the peaches as I prefer the extra nutrients, but of course, do what you like.
Wash the peaches before using them as you want to remove as much of the pesticides as you can. I use this cloth with some water to accomplish this.
I don't find that covering the rim of the glass with salt is necessary for this margarita. But if you like salt on your fruit margaritas, here's how you do it: pour a little kosher salt or flake salt like Maldon on a small plate. Dip your finger in simple syrup and run it around the rim of the glass. Dip the rim in the salt and roll it around to cover as much as the rim as you like. With the glass still upside down, shake off any loose pieces of salt and set aside.
