Hot Honey Peach Margarita

Peaches are my fave fruit, but unfortunately juicy ripe peaches are few and far between in the North East. So if you see me in the produce aisle sniffing and squeezing rows of stone fruits, no you didn’t..

While I patiently wait to be blessed by the fruit gods, I’ve created this cocktail that tastes like a perfectly ripe peach (plus a little kick) thanks to my hot honey peach puree. I’ve tried making this recipe by simply blending raw peaches with hot honey and brown sugar, but the peach flavor was still lacking. If you’ve ever had a baked fruit dessert than I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that something truly magical happens when you cook fruit. The natural sugars of the fruit caramelize, and in this case, emulate the flavor you’d get from a proper ripe peach.
