A bright, bold twist on the classic margarita featuring fresh peach puree, spicy jalapeño, and a smoky smoked salt Tajin rim. Perfect for summer nights and casual celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small jalapeño, sliced thinly (seeded for less heat, or keep seeds for a kick)
  • 2 oz (60 ml) tequila blanco
  • 1 oz (30 ml) triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) agave syrup
  • about 2 tbsp smoked salt Tajin for rimming glasses
  • Ice cubes, enough for shaking and serving
  • Splash of water to help blend the peach puree if needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Pour the smoked salt Tajin onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your margarita glass to moisten it, then gently dip the rim into the Tajin mixture. Set glasses aside to dry slightly while you prepare the drink.
  2. Make Peach Puree: Peel and pit the peaches, then cut into chunks. Place peach chunks in your blender with a splash of water to help blend smoothly. Pulse until creamy but still slightly textured. Taste and adjust sweetness if peaches aren’t super ripe.
  3. Prepare Jalapeño: Slice the jalapeño thinly. For a milder drink, remove seeds. If you want more heat, toss in a few seeds or muddle the slices lightly to release more oils.
  4. Mix the Margarita: In your cocktail shaker, add the tequila blanco (2 oz / 60 ml), triple sec (1 oz / 30 ml), fresh lime juice (1 oz / 30 ml), agave syrup (0.5 oz / 15 ml), a couple of jalapeño slices, and 3 tablespoons of peach puree. Fill the shaker with ice.
  5. Shake It Up: Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels cold and frosty, about 15 seconds.
  6. Strain and Serve: Strain the margarita into your prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a thin slice of jalapeño or a peach wedge.

Notes

If peach puree is too thick, add a teaspoon of water before blending. Control jalapeño heat by adjusting seeds and slices. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Rimming glasses over a plate avoids clumps. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill without diluting too much. For a dairy-free, vegan-friendly version, no modifications needed. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. Agave syrup can be swapped for honey if preferred.
