Peach Paloma

Hi friends!! I have another refreshing summer drink for you. After this passionfruit paloma, you all made it very clear that you are a fan of refreshing summer drinks. Well, this peach paloma fits that club! It is sweet, fruity, and refreshing!

First, what is a paloma? well, it is basically a refreshing tequila-based cocktail. Usually made with tequila, lime juice, and flavored soda. of course with most things, you can customize this combination to your liking. For the passionfruit version, I used fresh passionfruit pulp for a tropical twist and tart/sweet combo. When using a fruit flavor, I prefer to use sparkling water instead of flavored soda. 

Peach season is so short and I try to maximize my time with them. From eating loads of fresh peaches to making peach blueberry galette to peach cupcakes to peach palomas! We have to eat all the peaches when we can. 

Okay, let’s see what’s in this refreshing peach paloma. First up, fresh peach puree. You take your farmers market peaches, remove the pit, and blend. This fresh puree is so good and is the start of our cocktail. In a large pitcher, add the puree, tequila of your choice, lime juice, and some agave for some sweetness. You can skip the agave if you don’t want some sweet in the cocktail. 

When ready to serve, add ice and sparkling water to the pitcher and mix well. That’s it! Serve the peach paloma over ice and enjoy!! 

This cocktail is perfect for crowds but can also be made for a few people. It is easy to customize and easy to whip up. Pretty much the perfect summer cocktail. I hope you give it a try. Do let me know if you do!
