Peach cocktails use peach as a main flavor, often using peach puree, liqueurs or slices. Popular examples include the Bellini, blue peach and royal peach cocktails. Peaches are used in many classic drinks, and can be paired with other flavors to create alcoholic fruit shots. In areas where peaches grow, local specialties involving peach juice and alcohol are common.
A peach cocktail is any cocktail that includes peach as one of its main flavors. This may involve using peach puree, peach liqueurs, or even peach slices. Many different cocktails make use of this flavor, but some popular examples include the Bellini, blue peach and royal peach cocktails. In addition to these, there are also peach versions of many classic drinks, including peach martinis and margaritas. Any drink in which peach flavor can be discerned can be thought of as a peach cocktail, but some cocktails focus specifically on enhancing the peach flavor.
One of the most popular peach cocktails is the Bellini. This cocktail is made by mixing peach puree with sparkling wine and is considered a classic, therefore it is known in many bars. Unlike many other peach cocktails, this drink originated in Italy and isn’t a gimmick or twist on a classic recipe. Many elegant restaurants serve this peach cocktail, but bars that primarily sell beer and wine rarely carry the necessary ingredients for this drink.
There are many different types of peach cocktails that involve peach-flavored alcohol. These include peach vodka, peach schnapps, and other liqueurs that leech peaches into neutral alcohol to create peach-flavored alcohol. This type of liqueur can be mixed with sodas or other alcohols to preserve the flavor of the peaches in the drink. Peach alcohol can be blended with a large number of other flavors to create alcoholic fruit shots. It is common for peach-flavored liqueurs to use real peaches, but some are artificially flavored.
A peach cocktail involving peach liqueur that is served in many bars involves mixing peach liqueur with whiskey. Peach vodka with soda or juice is also popular. It can be difficult to pair this type of liqueur elegantly with other spirits, but a common combination during the summer months in many bars involves sweet teas and peach liqueurs mixed together. It’s also possible to put peach liqueur into nonalcoholic sweet tea for a less intense alcoholic experience, but this often works better with syrupy alcohols.
The use of peach as a flavoring in alcoholic beverages is even more prevalent in areas where peaches grow. In these areas, there are often local specialties involving peach juice and alcohol, or even peaches soaked in wine. The peach flesh itself can even become part of the cocktail in some cases, floating in the drink or sitting on the edge. The potential uses of peach in cocktails are almost limitless, and one can find it fun to concoct a unique peach cocktail of one’s own.
