Do I have to remove the peach skins before making the syrup?

No. You can if you prefer, but it is much faster to leave the skins in place as it won’t affect the taste at all.

Can I use mushy peaches?

Yes. Peaches that are a bit too soft to eat on their own are perfect for using to make the peach syrup

Can I muddle the peaches instead of using the simple syrup?

Other recipes use muddled peaches instead of simple syrup. However, making your own peach syrup adds much more flavor than muddled peaches and creates a smoother drink.

Can I use peach schnapps instead?

You could use peach schnapps instead, but it will change the flavor of this recipe. Peach schnapps has a stronger, slightly more artificial peach flavor compared to homemade peach syrup.

Instructions

First, make the peach simple syrup. Heat the peaches, sugar and water together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and use a fork to break down the peach chunks as they warm up. Don’t let the syrup boil.
Once the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the saucepan from the stove and strain out the peach chunks. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before making the margarita.
Then, make the peach margarita on the rocks. Run a wedge of lime around the edge of the margarita glass and roll it in salt, pressing to make the salt stick.
Add the peach simple syrup, tequila, lime juice and Cointreau to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 20 seconds until the outside is frosted. Strain into the prepared margarita glass and serve.

Notes

This recipe will make extra peach simple syrup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 weeks.
