    This margarita has the simple but ever-so-enjoyable flavor combination of a Fuzzy Navel cocktail: orange and peach. The orange in the drink comes from Triple Sec, and the peach from homemade peach nectar.

    And there's tequila in there too, of course!

    Why you'll love this margarita

    Sliced frozen peaches in a white-rimmed dish on a pink patterned cloth.

    The flavors of the margarita are wonderfully soft and sweet - much different than a traditional margarita full of zingy citrus. This peachy margarita is refreshing and just lovely.

    You can buy peach nectar for this recipe, but I really hope you try making your own. It's easy and fast, and if you have any leftover nectar you can whip up a bellini.

    Try more margaritas, like the Best Lemon Margarita and the Grilled Pineapple Margarita!

    🔪 How to make a Fuzzy Navel Margarita

    Step 1: Combine the juice and spirits

    Bottles of Triple Sec liqueur and tequila

    Pour the peach nectar, tequila, and Triple Sec into a cocktail shaker or a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake them together well.

    Step 2: Dip the rims

    Dip the rims of your glasses in orange juice and then in sugar. Carefully add ice cubes to the glasses.

    Step 3: Pour and serve

    Pour the margarita mixture over the ice and serve the drinks immediately.

    Tips:

    Small mason jar filled with peach nectar.
    • I like to have all the liquids chilled ahead of time to make a very cold margarita. If this isn't possible there are two options: you can mix the margaritas ahead of time and chill the mixture before pouring it into the glasses. Or, add ice to the jar when you shake the liquids to mix them.
    • As I mention above, making your own peach nectar is easy and fast. You can make a batch for these margaritas, and also add a splash to seltzers or even add some to a pitcher of sangria. The instructions to make your own peach nectar are below in the recipe.

    • Do you own margarita glasses? If yes - great! If like me you do not, here are two other options: a lil' mason jar for a cute and casual margarita, or a champagne flute for a fancy-pants margarita. From either vessel, it still tastes sweet and fuzzy.
    • Consider stashing your margarita glasses in the freezer ahead of time to get them really cold for your drinks.

    Sweet and fuzzy is also how I start to feel after multiple rounds of taste-testing margaritas! The recipe for the Fuzzy Navel Margarita is below. Here are couple of other margaritas, too:

    The Best Lemon Margarita
    Try this bright twist on a classic margarita. The best Lemon Margarita has a double dose of intense lemon to make a refreshing tequila cocktail.

    Creamy Coconut and Lime Margarita
    Coconut, lime, and a little heat make for a really refreshing margarita. This is a delicious and fun take on a classic margarita.

    Grilled Pineapple Margarita
    Fresh pineapple gets even sweeter when it's grilled. And when blended with tequila it makes a really delicious Grilled Pineapple Margarita!

    Best Blue Margarita Recipe
    This cocktail has a stunning blue hue with flavors of orange and tangy lime. Here's how to make the Best Blue Margarita Recipe.

    Servings 2 servings

    Ingredients
     
     

    • ⅔ cup store-bought or homemade peach nectar (see below)
    • 4 fluid ounces Tequila, silver
    • 1 fluid ounces Triple Sec orange liqueur
    • 2 Glasses
    • Ice
    • Granulated sugar for the rims
    • Orange juice in shallow dish for the rims (Or an orange slice to rub along the rims)

    Instructions
     

    • Note: I like to have all the liquids chilled ahead of time to make a very cold margarita. If this isn't possible there are two options: you can mix the margaritas ahead of time and chill the mixture before pouring it into the glasses. Or, add ice to the jar when you shake the liquids to mix them.
    • Pour the peach nectar, tequila and Triple Sec into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake the jar to combine everything.
    • Dip the rims of the glasses in the orange juice (or rub an orange slice along the rims to moisten them.) Then dip the rims lightly into the sugar. Carefully place ice cubes into each glass. 
    • Pour the shaken mixture carefully into each glass. (If you had ice in the jar you can strain this out.) Serve the drinks immediately.

    *To make your own peach nectar:

    • Add 2 cups of fresh or frozen peach slices to a saucepan along with 1 cup of water, ⅔-cup of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then cook for another 6 minutes or so until the peach slices are soft.
    • Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool a little. Then puree it all in a blender until the nectar is completely smooth. Refrigerate it until it's completely chilled. Makes 2 cups. 

    Notes

    • I like to have all the liquids chilled ahead of time to make a very cold margarita. If this isn't possible there are two options: you can mix the margaritas ahead of time and chill the mixture before pouring it into the glasses. Or, add ice to the jar when you shake the liquids to mix them.
    • You can use store-bought peach nectar for this margarita, such as Goya Peach Nectar. It's also easy and fast to make your own - instructions are above in the recipe.
