Peach Jalapeño Margarita

Today’s Sunday Funday is peaches.

You guys.  The only peaches I like is this one...

...with the accompanying song, of course.

I do actually keep canned peaches stocked in my pantry as Hubs and Dude like them.

Last time peaches was a theme, I cheated and used peach schnapps.  This time, I decided to use the actual peaches.  But since I don’t like peaches, I added jalapeño…and I’m not gonna lie, I added too much.  These tasted like burning - haha.

So I added more peaches and then I could taste the peach and I realized…I prefer the burning! Ha!

So this one wasn’t a huge success, but if you’d like to improve on a recipe, this is what I used, taking notes from my Mango Margarita and Cucumber Jalapeño recipes (both of which are better than this).

Peach Jalapeño Margarita

2 ripe peaches, diced (about 1 cup)

2-3 slices jalapeño (3 = burning, fyi)

Juice from 1 small lime (about 2 tablespoons)

¼ cup orange juice

2 ounces tequila (omit for a virgin margarita/smoothie)

½ cup ice

Sea salt, chili powder, & black pepper to rim glasses, optional

Place the peaches, jalapeño, lime juice, orange juice, tequila, and ice into a blender and blend until smooth.

Meanwhile, run a lime along the edge of 2 glasses then dip in sea salt mixture to coat.

Pour the margarita mixture into the prepared cups and garnish with a lime.  Serve immediately.
