Peach Cocktail Recipes (colour, not flavour)
A strawberry mimosa—made with champagne or cider
for a mocktail—would be a lovely start to a leisurely weekend. If you’re making
a fancy brunch or just toast in your jammies, this mimosa should shake off any
Sunday Scaries.
Here’s another peach-colored brunch cocktail to try. This one—charmingly titled Wake Up Sunshine (is that an order or a noun? Why not both?)—contains prosecco, cranberry juice and grapefruit liqueur.
Maybe it’s because sunrise is a peachy-pink that there are so many peach-colored mimosa options out there. This tempting variant involves making a grapefruit simple syrup with mint leaves and honey, and then mixing it in a flute glass with prosecco (with a suggestion of sparkling grape juice or soda water for a mocktail version). Yum!
Jane and Sonja over at Sustain My Cooking Habit rave that this is their favorite summer cocktail: peach-colored and peach-flavored, it’s a breeze to assemble, serves 8, and you can even use a liter of peach juice if you’re not feeling like peeling and blending a bunch of fruit. Fill a pitcher with sparkling wine, add juice, and voila—a little fruit garnish and you’ve got fancy drinks to impress your guests. Or yourself. We don’t judge.
True story: margaritas were my “gateway” cocktail when I was 21. My friends and I usually made less-than-awesome drinks in the dorm bathroom with an ancient blender, tequila and a bottom-shelf mixer; our minds would have been blown by this mango-based, peach-colored wonder. It’s summer in a glass.
Speaking of margaritas, check this one out. Peach-colored and peach-flavored thanks to a homemade simple syrup, it’s mixed with some raspberry liquer and a bit of traditional lime juice, then served on the rocks. Come to mama.
Prefer your margarita frozen? We’ve got you covered. These peach margaritas start with fresh fruit and end up sliding decadently down your throat, perfect on a hot day. A bit of triple sec and honey rounds out the tequila for a delicious treat.
Maya over at Wicked Spatula is mixing up another peach-colored margarita! This one is made with a DIY cantaloupe juice, tequila, brandy and a bit of lime. Top it off with a lime wheel and a sprig of mint and you’ve got a delightful drink for a summer afternoon.
If we’re going to have breakfast cocktails in this peach-colored cocktail roundup, it only makes sense to have at least one dessert drink as well. Enter the Peach Cobbler Cocktail: fresh peach, peach margarita mix, peach vodka and tequila are blended with hazelnut liquer and poured into a glass rimmed with brown sugar and graham cracker crumbs. It’s a warm-weather nightcap!
Maybe you like tequila but margaritas aren’t your bag. Have you ever had a Paloma? Traditionally made with tequila and grapefruit soda, Teak and Thyme offers a gorgeous little number that features blood orange juice and club soda with the tequila, and is garnished with blood orange wheels. Peachy and refreshing.
Mom Foodie offers up a spin on the Cape Codder, a classic cranberry juice cocktail, with her Madras Cocktail. Take a highball glass, add OJ, vodka, and cranberry over ice, stir. That’s it! It’s sunrise-colored and a snap to put together.
When I think of warmth in the winter, I think of
Florida, and flamingos, so this cocktail sounds like a little vacation. In her
beyond-simple recipe, Sara of Bitz and Giggles mixes several fruit concentrates
with water, sugar, soda and booze for freezable flamingos she can take out on a
needed basis. Instant summer!
Tamara at Beyond Mere Sustenance is a cocktail maker after my own heart. I love gin and I love James Bond, and this involves both! Tamara adds orange juice to the traditional Lillet, vodka and gin, and garnishes with a blood orange wheel. Lift your pinky while sipping this one—it’s fancy.
Want to take your mixology to the next level? Try a cocktail made with fancy kitchen equipment. If you’ve got a sous vide machine, Everclear and some other ingredients, you’re just a couple of hours away from starting some delightful peach moonshine.
Grapefruit cocktails are among my favorites. This is another easy cocktail recipe—just grapefruit and vodka in a salt-rimmed glass, over ice. Perfect for sipping while grilling.
Muddled peaches, vodka and ginger ale or ginger beer? Oh, yes please. Easy for one or a crowd.
I love whiskey and I love peaches, so this drink’s going on my to-make list. It’s got peach bourbon, schnapps, and jalepénos for kick. Served over ice, it’d be great on a warm weekend.
Robin at Mom Foodie has a third peach-colored cocktail to wet your whistles. This one’s bourbon-based and serves a crowd (8). First you make her recipe for citrus tea, and then you blend it with bourbon and blood orange liqueur for a lovely little libation.
A good sangria is a summer wonder. This one—triple
sec, peach slices, prosecco and berries—sounds both refreshing and elegant. And
sangria is always a crowd-pleaser, so you get a lot of happy drinkers with
minimal effort. Whether you’re watching the sun set or enjoying a backyard bbq,
it’s a winner.
This slushy-for-two recipe takes sangria to a whole new icy level by blending frozen peaches with various liqueurs and white wine. Remember the bright blue slushies you might have gotten at 7-11 as a child? This slushy makes me glad to be an adult.
Well, there you have it: lots of peach-colored cocktails to you could sip under three blankets, chilling by the fire, waiting for summer to come, or outside on a patio once it arrives.
