Peach Margaritas With Peach Wedges

Peach Margaritas With Peach Wedges


1. Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add 1 pound of peaches, and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Remover peaches from water.

2. Peel and halve peaches, and remove pits. Slice peaches into wedges, and transfer to a medium bowl. Toss with orange liqueur, sugar and salt. Cover, and set in a warm spot until peaches give off juice, about 20 minutes.

3. Purée peach mixture in a blender or a food processor until completely smooth. Immediately stir in tequila and lemon juice. (Peach purée with tequila can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 4 hours). Transfer to a pitcher, and stir in peach nectar.

4. Fill each of 8 tall glasses with ice, and garnish with a sprig of mint. Cut the remaining 2 peaches into 8 wedges, cut a small slit into curve of each wedge, and place one wedge on rim of each glass. Divide margarita mixture among glasses.
