Peach cocktails

Peach cocktails work best when ripe fruit meets citrus, because the acidity stops the sweetness from going flat. Start with the Peach Daiquiri for a shaken rum build that shows the fruit clearly, or the Bellini Peach Spritz when you want sparkling wine to do the lifting. The Southern Peach pairs peach with bourbon for a richer, slightly Southern style, while the Apricot Stone Sour and Bellini-Tini lean into stone-fruit cousins for added depth. Peach & Apricot Spritz, Apple Spritz, and Sour Cherry Spritz extend the spritz format with seasonal twists. Sex On The Beach, Palm Springs, and Practice What You Peach lean tropical, and the Apricot Julep adds a herbal angle that proves peach plays well with mint.
