Tasting Notes

The Peach Lemon Drop Cocktail is a sweet, citrusy, and slightly tart drink with a luscious peach flavor and a vibrant color from the grenadine. The peach vodka and peach purée create a smooth, juicy fruitiness, while the lemon juice adds a zesty balance. A touch of simple syrup rounds out the acidity, and the grenadine provides a beautiful gradient effect and subtle berry sweetness. This cocktail is both refreshing and indulgent, making it a perfect summer sipper.

Equipment and Glassware

To make the Peach Lemon Drop Cocktail, you’ll need a cocktail shaker to properly mix and chill the ingredients, a jigger for accurate measurements, and a strainer for a smooth pour. A martini glass or coupe glass is ideal for serving, while a small plate for sugaring the rim adds an extra touch of elegance.

Ingredients

1 oz lemon juice
2 oz peach vodka
1 oz peach puree
1/2 oz grenadine
1/2 oz simple syrup

Instructions

If desired, 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.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass.
Garnish with a peach slice or a lemon twist.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Peach Lemon Drop Cocktail.

Pro Tips

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best tart, natural flavor.
Chill your glass beforehand for a longer-lasting, refreshing experience.
For a more dramatic layered effect, pour the grenadine into the glass last after straining the cocktail—it will settle at the bottom, creating a beautiful color gradient.
If fresh peaches aren’t available, use a high-quality peach nectar instead of peach purée.
Want a fizzier version? Add a splash of club soda or prosecco on top.

When to Serve

The Peach Lemon Drop Cocktail is a perfect warm-weather drink, ideal for summer parties, brunches, poolside lounging, or as a festive holiday cocktail. Its vibrant color and sweet-tart balance also make it a great choice for girls’ nights, date nights, or celebratory toasts.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For peach vodka, Absolut Peach, Smirnoff Peach, or Cîroc Peach provide the best flavors. If using grenadine, Liber & Co. Real Grenadine offers a high-quality option. Fresh peach purée is ideal, but R.W. Knudsen Peach Nectar can be a great alternative.
