What’s in a Peach Daiquiri?

The peach daiquiri is a twist on the classic daiquiri, a cocktail invented in Cuba in the 19th century. A classic daiquiri is just lime, rum, and simple syrup: a perfectly balanced, sparkling cocktail. When you think of a daiquiri, do you think of a frozen texture, like an infused smoothie? So the real The daiquiri is not frozen at all. Frozen daiquiris came later and became popular in the 1990s. (Try our Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri, Frozen Daiquiri, Banana Daiquiri, and Mango Daiquiri.)

This peach daiquiri is like the classic, but includes peach schnapps for a juicy, very clean peach flavor on the finish. Here’s what you need:

• white rum
• peach snap
• lime juice
• simple syrup
• orange juice or peach slices

Why use peach schnapps?

Peach schnapps has such a strong peach flavor that it’s even stronger than the real fruit. It works well here as it adds a fruity flavor to the entire drink. Why does it work so well?

• peach snap is a type of liquor made by adding peach flavor to a clear grain alcohol. Introduced by DeKuyper in 1984, it quickly became America’s best-selling liquor.
• What does peach schnapps taste like? The taste is intensely fruity and peach. Small things have a big impact!
• What other drinks use peach schnapps? The most popular peach schnapps cocktail is the fuzzy navel. You can also use it for a peach martini, a peach bourbon cocktail, or a Georgia peach.

Use orange juice or ripe peaches

Since the peach daiquiri uses peach schnapps, it doesn’t need ripe peaches at all. In fact, you can make the whole drink any time of the year with a special trick: orange juice! But if you have peaches on hand, you can use them too. Here’s what you need to know about this exchange:

• orange juice adds some color and sweetness that mimics a peach but without adding any citrus flavor. Peach schnapps adds that fruity flavor you need in a peach drink.
• Ripe slices of peaches also work, if it’s peach season and you have them on hand. Use 6-8 slices of peaches and crush them in the shaker first.
