Ripe peaches and tangy pineapples give this chilly tequila cocktail a fruity sweetness, balanced by the herbal, earthy notes from blanco tequila and Suze, a delicately bitter French aperitif.
Why It Works
Sweet and fruity meets refreshingly bitter and herbal in this frozen drink. Read the Whole Story- A frozen cocktail is a great place for peaches you've let get a little too ripe.
- Blanco tequila and Suze both have an earthy flavor profile that makes them an excellent match.
- Pre-batching and chilling the cocktail mixture the night before you serve it gives you a cold base that requires less ice in the blender and won't melt the drink right away.
