- To make the simple syrup, combine water, sugar, and sliced jalapeños (cut in half) in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. This process takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and allow it to cool completely. Strain out the jalapeños and any seeds, and set the syrup aside.
- While the syrup cools, prepare the peaches. Peel and remove the pits from the peaches. Cut them into chunks to make blending easier. The sweeter the peaches, the better your margarita will taste!
- In a blender, combine the prepared peaches, silver tequila, orange flavored liqueur, lime juice, orange juice, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend until smooth, creating a beautiful peach mixture.
- Once blended, taste your margarita mixture. If you desire more sweetness, feel free to add a little more simple syrup. If you love a spicier drink, consider adding a few slices of jalapeño to the blender and blend again.
- Pour the margarita mix into a glass filled with ice. Use a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother texture without pulp.
- Garnish your drink with a slice of peach and a jalapeño slice for a beautiful presentation. You can also add a lime wedge for an extra touch!
- Now, it’s time to serve! Enjoy your Fresh Peach Jalapeño Margarita on a warm summer day or during a festive evening gathering. The vibrant colors and flavors will surely be a hit.
- Don’t forget to save any leftover simple syrup. It can be used to make other refreshing drinks or even drizzled over desserts like ice cream!
