Notes
Recipe makes one cocktail.
To make peach puree: Peel peaches, using the blanch method. Pit and place in a blender. Blend until a smooth puree is achieved. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for 6-12 months.
Note on Agave: I enjoy using Tres Agave brand for my cocktails because it is already perfectly blended with purified water, making it easy to dissolve and mix into the cocktail. Where as regular agave is generally too thick to dissolve. If you'd rather, you could always make a simple syrup or even my Stevia simple syrup for a more natural option.
