Do I need to peel the peaches?

You can if you want to - I usually just give mine a thorough scrub and leave the peel on. If you do want to peel them, the best way is to run a paring knife gently around the peach twice (so the peel is cut in quarters), drop them in boiling water for about a minute and scoop them out. The peel will come right off like magic!

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this?

You can! It's as easy as leaving out the tequila. If you want to add a little sass, pour 2 ounces of club soda into each serving.

Notes

Peaches: During peach season you want to get the ones from your local farm stand if you can, but I’ve also made these with frozen peaches and it’s been almost as good.

Simple Syrup: This is simply (ha!) sugar dissolved in water, and I use my friend Ree’s recipe for simple syrup to make my own. You can also find it premade for you near the other mixers wherever you procure your tequila. 😎

Mint: You can find this in fresh produce section of your grocery store. It’s the secret ingredient that makes this margarita so fabulous!

Lemon Juice: I always use fresh, but in a pinch bottled lemon juice will work.
