    When it comes to summer drinks, a fruit cocktail is the first thing to come to mind - from a passion fruit margarita to a blueberry smash to a watermelon crush to a vodka sunrise.

    And these peach daiquiri fits the bill. The sweetness of the fresh peaches and the tartness of the limes makes this the perfect summertime drink.

    Why This Recipe Works

    • It is a spin on a classic daiquiri.
    • The flavors of the lime and peaches gives off summer vibes.
    • Cocktails that look good taste good. And the bright sunny color just looks great.

    ingredients for peach daiquiri

    Ingredient Notes

    • Peaches - you want to use fresh peaches if possible. Peel and slice them.
    • Light rum - known for its underlying profile of sweet, toasted sugar, I like to use light rum for this cocktail.
    • Limes - adds acidity and brightness to the cocktail.
    • Maple syrup - gives an underlying sweetness.

    Ingredient Swaps

    As with any cocktail, you can mix up some of the ingredients. Some variations include:

    • Fresh peaches are best, but you can use canned peaches in a pinch.
    • While you can use light rum, you can use your favorite type of rum.
    • Lime juice is more traditional for a daiquiri, but lemon juice works too.
    • I'm a fan of maple syrup for sweetness in cocktails, but you can make your own simple syrup.

    Please note full ingredient list and instructions for this cocktail can be found in recipe card below.

    FAQs

    How Do I Know Peaches are Ripe?

    There are a few ways to tell that a peach is ripe. The best way is if you see shriveled skin around the stem, that means it is ripe.

    The next best way is by giving a peach a gentle, yet firm squeeze with your fingers. If there’s some give, it means the fruit is almost ripe. Be careful not to bruise though.

    How Many Peaches Do I Need?

    Depending on the size of the peaches, you need 3-4 to get 2 cups of sliced peaches.

    Can I Use Canned Peaches?

    If you don't have fresh peaches, canned peaches or even frozen peaches will work too.

    Can I Make Ahead of Time?

    Daiquiris are typically a frozen drink so it's not best suited to make ahead. When the ice melts, it becomes watery so just best to make right beforehand.

    Types of Peaches

    There are 4 main types of peaches and each will bring a slightly different flavor to this peach daiquiri.

    • Yellow Peaches - the most common peach that has a high acidity level with some tartness.
    • White Peaches - has a slightly lower acidity level, which makes them sweeter.
    • Donut Peaches - looks like a donut, hence the name. They have a sweet, white flesh.
    • Nectarines - yes they are actually peaches but have a smooth skin. They have a sweet, honey-like flavor.

    Equipment

    The equipment you use is important to how the recipe turns out. What is needed is the following:

    • Blender/Food processor - used to blend all of the ingredients until smooth.
    • Coupe glasses - daiquiris are traditionally served in coupe glasses but you can use whatever you want.

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Place the glasses in the freezer for an hour so it keeps your daiquiri chilled.
    • Make sure you use ripe peaches as they have give the drink that subtle sweetness.
    • Take the time to freshly squeeze lime juice. Store-bought just isn't the same.
    • Sweeten to the cocktail to taste. If you like a little sweeter drink, add some more maple syrup.
