Tips for Success

These easy tips and tricks are here to help you make perfect peach daiquiris every time.

• Make Sure Your Peaches are Ripe: Ripe peaches have a deep yellow color and a little give when squeezed gently. If your peaches are too pale or firm, they need some more time to ripen. Avoid squeezing the peaches too hard when checking for ripeness, or they could become bruised.
• Sweeten to Taste: Use the amount of superfine sugar that’s right for you. You can always add more as you go but you can’t take some out once the cocktails are blended.
• Adjust Consistency: As noted in the recipe, additional crushed ice can be added to thicken the daiquiris. Likewise, liquid ingredients like peach nectar and water can be added to make it thinner.

Can You Make a Peach Daiquiri in Advance?

• Daiquiris aren’t well-suited for making ahead of time because of their frozen texture. As the crushed ice melts, the drink will become watery. If it’s stored in the freezer, it’ll turn into one icy mess. Peach daiquiris are best served shortly after they’re made.
