Juicy Peach Paloma
The peach nectar (which replaces the traditional grapefruit juice) is sweet enough that I find you don’t need any simple syrup in this drink. Lots of punchy, fresh lime juice perfectly complements the sweet peach, especially when enjoyed with a salty rim. I use grapefruit soda to finish, but regular is just fine. This makes one drink and is easily multiplied.
- Yield: 1 drink 1x
Ingredients
- 1–ounce freshly squeezed lime juice plus a lime wedge for the rim
- 2 ounces tequila blanco
- 2 ounces peach nectar
- Soda water to finish (or any flavored bubbly water – I like grapefruit or raspberry-lime)
GARNISH SUGGESTIONS: Fresh peach and lime slices and crunchy sea salt, for garnishing
Instructions
- Run a cut lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip into some crunchy salt to create a salted rim (optional). Fill the glass with ice.Â
- Add ice to a cocktail shaker followed by the tequila, lime juice (use more if you like – this drink needs that citrusy kick), and peach nectar. Put the lid on and shake vigorously until icy and super cold. Strain into the glass and top with some soda water (flavored or not). Garnish with fresh peach and lime slices, if you like.
Notes
To make hibiscus simple syrup, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. When the sugar has fully dissolved, add three hibiscus tea bags to the pan (or however many you want), and let it steep until fully cooled. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, if you like.
This will keep in the fridge in a covered container for up to two weeks.
