Let me guide you through my top picks for Peach Puree Cocktails, a personal favorite of mine to both mix and serve. The reason is simple: peach puree’s sweet and tangy profile transforms any cocktail into a refreshing masterpiece. It’s like bottling the essence of summer, thanks to its rich flavor and smooth texture. Trust me, as someone who’s been behind the bar for years, peach puree is a gem in cocktail crafting. Now, onto the stars of our menu:
Bellini
Bellinis sound fancy and extravagant, but this simple cocktail only takes three ingredients to make. As far as brunch drinks go, this one makes a mimosa look like a rookie move. To make a bellini, all you need is vodka, champagne, and peach puree. If you like your fruity drinks extra sweet, you can add some simple syrup to your peach puree.
Bellini
Ingredients
Method
- Take a champagne flute and pour chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine into it, filling the glass about halfway.
- Add a spoonful of peach purée gently into the glass.
- Using a spoon, stir the contents gently to ensure the peach purée mixes well with the sparkling wine.
- For an extra touch, if desired, garnish the Bellini with a slice of fresh peach.
- Adjust the amount of peach purée according to your taste preferences, allowing for variations in sweetness or fruitiness in your Bellini. You can also explore different types of sparkling wine or consider adding a splash of Aperol or seltzer to create unique twists on the classic Bellini recipe.
Peach Margarita
When happy hour rolls around, nothing hits the spot quite like a margarita with a salted rim over ice. Margaritas come in all kinds of flavors, but the fresh peach margarita is a flavorful delight. The best way to make this tequila-based cocktail is with freshly pureed peaches. Frozen peaches work as a good substitute, though. This made-from-scratch margarita is a little more work but much tastier than a margarita mix.

The fresh peach puree gives the cocktail a richer fruit flavor than most flavored martinis, while the lemon juice keeps everything bright and balanced. It feels elegant enough for a cocktail party but simple enough for a relaxing evening at home.
Peach Lemon Drop
Ingredients
Method
- Boil a medium pot of water and place three peaches in the boiling water for a couple minutes. Take the peaches out of the water with a slotted spoon or tongs, and place the peaches in an ice bath. Once cooled, peel off the skin. You can also use already peeled frozen peaches that have been thawed (1 lb is about 3 peaches)
- Cut peeled peaches in half and remove the pits. Place in a blender or food processor and blend until you get a smooth puree. If you would like it sweeter, you can add a little sugar or honey and blend again
- Keep in the refrigerator for about a week, or freeze in an ice cube tray for longer storage. (Frozen peach puree ice cubes would go great in a glass of bubbly Prosecco)
- Rim a cocktail glass with sugar. To do this, rub a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim in sugar.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine lemon juice, peach vodka, peach puree, grenadine and simple syrup.
