In this post, you'll find...
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s your shopping list for this fruity masterpiece.
Don’t worry—it’s nothing too fancy, but the flavors will make you feel like a mixologist extraordinaire.
- 2 oz vodka (choose something smooth and clean, like Grey Goose or Tito’s)
- 1 oz white peach purée (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice (trust me, fresh makes all the difference!)
- ½ oz simple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
- ½ oz triple sec or peach liqueur (for that extra peachy punch)
- Ice (for shaking, not munching)
- Fresh peach slice or mint sprig (optional garnish)
Ingredient Breakdown
Vodka: The backbone of your martini. A high-quality vodka ensures the drink is silky and smooth. Cheap vodka? Well, that’s a shortcut to a headache.
White Peach Purée: This is the star of the show. You can make it yourself by blending fresh white peaches, or grab a jar from the store. Pro tip: strain it for a velvety texture.
Fresh Lime Juice: Zesty and refreshing, lime juice cuts through the sweetness and balances the flavors. Skip the bottled stuff—it’s just not the same.
Simple Syrup: This sweetener ties everything together. Make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water. Bonus: you can infuse it with herbs like basil for a fancy twist!
Triple Sec or Peach Liqueur: Adds depth and amplifies the peachiness. If you’re feeling extra, try a splash of Grand Marnier for a citrusy upgrade.
Ice: Seems basic, but ice is key. Use plenty of it to chill your drink quickly and create that refreshing frost on your martini glass.
Garnish: It’s the cherry on top—or in this case, the peach slice or mint sprig. It’s optional but adds a little flair that makes the drink Instagram-worthy.
How to Make A White Peach Martini
Step 1: Prep Your Glass
Before you even think about mixing, get that martini glass ready. Pop it in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you work. A chilled glass keeps your drink cool longer and just feels a little more extra. If you want to go all out, rim the glass with sugar for a sweet touch.
Step 2: Make Your Peach Purée (If Homemade)
If you’re going the DIY route for the purée, peel a couple of white peaches, remove the pits, and blend the flesh until smooth. Strain the purée through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of any pesky chunks. You want it silky smooth, like a peach-flavored cloud.
Step 3: Measure and Mix
Grab your trusty cocktail shaker and toss in:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz white peach purée
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup
- ½ oz triple sec or peach liqueur
Throw in a generous handful of ice—this step is critical. The ice doesn’t just chill your drink; it also slightly dilutes it, which helps meld all the flavors together.
Step 4: Shake It Up
Here’s where you channel your inner bartender. Seal the shaker and give it a vigorous shake—think Beyoncé-level energy—for about 15-20 seconds. You’ll know you’re doing it right when the shaker gets icy cold and a little frosty on the outside.
Step 5: Strain and Serve
Dump out the ice from your martini glass (if you used it to chill), then strain your cocktail into the glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if you’re extra fussy about texture. The result should be a gorgeously pale peach-colored drink that looks as dreamy as it tastes.
Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy
Top it off with a thin slice of fresh peach or a sprig of mint for a pop of color. Take a second to admire your creation—it’s a work of art! Then, sip, savor, and let the compliments roll in.
Tips for the Perfect White Peach Martini
- Play with the Sweetness: Too sweet? Add a dash more lime juice. Not sweet enough? Drizzle in extra simple syrup until it hits the right note.
- Batch It for Parties: Multiply the recipe and make a big pitcher for your next gathering. Just shake individual servings before pouring to keep the texture fresh.
- Experiment with Garnishes: Fresh raspberries, edible flowers, or even a sugared rim can take this drink to the next level.
- Use Crushed Ice for a Frothier Texture: If you like your martinis a bit frothy, shake it with crushed ice for an extra vigorous mix.
