Description
A White Peach Margarita is the perfect cocktail to sip on during warm summer days. This refreshing and fruity twist on the traditional margarita combines the sweetness of white peaches with the tangy notes of fresh lime juice and the bold kick of tequila.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a white peach slice and a lime wheel for a beautiful and refreshing presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe white peaches for the best natural sweetness. If fresh white peaches are not available, you can use frozen peaches or high-quality peach puree.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup, depending on your preference.
- If you prefer a stronger cocktail, reduce the simple syrup and increase the tequila slightly.
- For a smoother texture, strain the fresh peach puree to remove any pulp before mixing.
