Sipping on a Peach Mezcal Margarita makes everything feel like summer. We like our margaritas with the smoky notes of Mezcal. It makes this no ordinary margarita!
I love peaches. I bought a bag from the farmer’s market and didn’t really know what to do with them all. So I did what any sane person would do and started thinking up creative cocktails I could make.
This recipe uses only fresh peaches – no peach-flavored anything – including Schnapps. The peaches can be peeled or not, depending on your preference. They add a natural sweetness to the drink that means you don’t need to add much, if any, additional sugar.

You don’t need to use a top-shelf Mezcal for this recipe, but we wouldn’t recommend the cheapest one either. If you’re wondering which one to buy, it’s always best to ask for a recommendation at the store. We use a brand called QuiQuiRiQui at home for making drinks (here’s another of our favorite Mezcal cocktails).
How to Make Fresh Peach Mezcal Margaritas
There are very few ingredients in this recipe, so it’s a breeze to make. You’ll just need a blender, half a peach for each drink you make, Mezcal, lime juice, and Triple Sec, and perhaps some agave nectar or honey if your peach isn’t sweet enough.
As previously mentioned, you can peel the peaches or leave the skins on. The resulting drink will be slightly chunkier with the peels on. It’s sort of like drinking orange juice with pulp or without.
Add the peaches to the blender, toss in the rest of the ingredients, blend it for a minute, and you’re done. You can salt the rim of your glass if you wish. To do that, just wet the rim with a slice of lime, add some salt to a flat plate, and dip the glass upside down into the salt. This recipe makes just one drink, so be sure to double the quantities for two!
