Living in Georgia, peaches are a big deal. Georgia peaches when in season are the juiciest, most delicious peach out there. There are so many varieties, over 40 produced just in Georgia, that there is definitely one that you have to love. Some are more sweet, others more tart, but the Clingstone variety is most popular for just eating straight up. I used that variety (which is likely what you find in your grocery store, too) for making these margaritas because it is juicier than some of the other varieties and always nice and sweet!

These drinks are perfect on a warm day in the middle of summer. You can alter the recipe to make a big pitcher, but I would recommend that you only make enough for how much you need at that time…meaning, you don’t want left overs for tomorrow. I find the peach gets really potent and the flavor gets super funky. Trust me, don’t risk it. Make what you need, when you need it.
