Enjoy these Frozen Peach Margaritas year round! They are one of our favorite “Al Fresco” cocktails on a warm day, with a bowl of guacamole and chips. Olé and Cheers!
Global warming has certainly turned up the temperature in our part of Central California! Wow! The majority of us don’t have air conditioning, as we rely on our Marine Layer to cool down our temperatures by late afternoon or early evening.
It was much hotter inside our home, so today seemed like a perfect time to make my famous Frozen Peach Margaritas. What’s this?! I never posted this on my blog, when I began making these at least ten years ago?! I must fix this. Stat!
My Vitamix blender is perfect for making frozen drinks. The beauty of this recipe is that you use frozen (unthawed) peaches– so you can make these anytime of year! Of course, you need tequila, peach schnapps and triple sec. You could make your own margarita mix, but I like to buy the Trader Joe’s brand since it’s perfect!
Toss all of the ingredients into a blender.
Add plenty of ice– about one cup. NOTE: I doubled the recipe, and the amount of ice, since we had guests. Give it a good whir, until all of the ice is broken down.
Now, that’s a pitcher of Margaritas!
We prefer to drink our frozen margaritas with a straw. However, I rub a piece of cut lime around each rim, then dip the glass in coarse salt… just in case.
TASTING NOTES: Perfection! The large straw helps to prevent “brain freeze’ and this drink is really subtle. That is, by the time you have a second one, you’re thinking you know how to speak Spanish! Or, at least you think you can. WARNING: Drink responsibly. Don’t drink and drive! We all had a bit of a buzz, even though I served guacamole and chips to go with this. For a summer drink these are so refreshing. It’s a good thing that frozen peaches are easy to find, year-round. Cheers!
