Life Is Peachy When You Make My Peach Cocktail Recipes
Loving the sweetness of peach the way I do, I am always looking for ways to mix that peachy flavor into my favorite peach cocktail recipes.
I have mixed fresh peach puree or peach juice with everything from gin, vodka, whiskey, and rum. I love tweaking some of my favorite recipes to include that delicious peach taste. I have even made peach sangria and tried peach wine and spritz. My peach affinity is endless.
Peach Daydreams As A Child
One reason I think I love the flavor of peach is that it reminds me of summer and the warm weather we so yearn for here in Michigan during the other three seasons.
Also, I have memories from when I was a small child and got to enjoy picking peaches from my Mamaw’s neighbor’s tree in Florida and eating them right then and there.
Back home we had a pear tree in our backyard (I know we are talking about peaches, but wait for it).
I used to sit beneath that tree and wish it was a peach tree. Sometimes I would even take a peach from our refrigerator and sit near that tree and eat it, pretending I just picked it fresh.
Fortunately, I do like pears as well. I would gladly pick one of those if the peaches were gone.

Peach Pairings
I find it especially tasty to pair my peach cocktails with food that has a bit (or more) of peach flavor. Sometimes it is in the barbecue sauce in ribs or wings. Even more often it is in a dessert.
It is also easy to pair with an appetizer like the one from our friends at Cuss Kitchen called Whip it Good. It has roasted peaches and feta on a delicious crostini.
