The Best Peach Margaritas
I don’t drink alcohol very often, but when I do, I always go for tequila. There’s no better drink to have by the pool in the summer than an ice-cold kombucha margarita.
I LOVE it when stone fruit season starts in the middle of summer. Peaches, cherries, and nectarines are my favorite fruits to eat cold on a hot summer day.
We have a local produce stand here, Southside Produce, where Jon and I shop. In June and July, they start getting in these huge, sweet, ripe peaches from Alabama, and when I saw them, all I could think was, “Margarita.”
How to Make the Perfect Summer Kombucha Margarita
True to form, I always have a bunch of kombucha in my fridge. Especially right now since we are hosting our summer session of The Fermented Drink Semester at The Cultured Guru School of Fermentation.
I wanted to use kombucha in this recipe to add vitamins and healthy postbiotic compounds to my cocktail. I made a simple lemon kombucha with kombucha primary fermented sweet tea and lemon juice, secondary fermented for 7 days. You can use any light-flavored, peach-flavored, or lemon/lime kombucha in this recipe.
We will mash and mull the peaches in the lime juice to make these margaritas. This makes a lot of peach pulp, which you can leave in or strain out.
Here are the supplies you’ll need:
- a pitcher
- tamper or wooden spoon
- a mesh strainer
- measuring cup
