Peach Margaritas

Despite a few less-than-pleasant nights (or perhaps, early mornings) with tequila, the two of us have remained close friends. So when I found a margarita recipe that would help us blend through the surplus of peaches we had a few weeks (months?) ago, I was sold. While the recipe is quite delicious, I'm not sure that I would go out and buy peaches for the sole purpose of making these margaritas; that's way more forethought than I usually put into my margarita-drinking experiences. But when we already had the peaches on hand? You can bet we were all over these. My dad even went so far to call these the "nectar of the gods", but let's just say this wasn't his first drink of the evening, so you might want to take his opinion with a grain of salt (which, for the record, I would not recommend salting the rims of the glasses for these margaritas. Maybe sugar. Just an FYI. And you know, maybe serve them in actual margarita glasses instead of rocks glasses. That is, if you're picky about that sort of thing. Which clearly we are not).

We're apparently also not picky about the quality of our photos. I blame the glare and fuzziness on Darrell's iPhone.



Peach Margaritas

(I seem to have misplaced the original link for this recipe. I swear that is because of the amount of time that has passed since making these, not because of the amount of alcohol that was consumed in sampling them. But I'm pretty sure this is the recipe we followed/modified.)

(Makes 3-4 margaritas)

 

3 peaches, peeled and sliced

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 cup tequila

1/2 cup triple sec or peach schnapps (we preferred the schnapps)

3 tablespoons honey

3 cups ice

 

Blend all ingredients in a blender on high speed until desired consistency is reached. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

 

PS It is only fitting that I post a recipe for an alcoholic drink today, as it is the birthday of one of my dearest friends Tim. While he doesn't quite share my love of tequila, he certainly knows his way around a good bottle of scotch. Cheers to you Tim!
