Peach Jalapeño Margarita
Made this one? Leave a rating below.
A blanco tequila margarita built on muddled fresh peach and jalapeño, shaken with lime and a Tajín rim. Sweet, spicy, and citrus forward all at once, with just enough heat to keep you sipping slowly.
This cocktail is part of our Date Nite collection, made to be sipped while you cook together.

Add the tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice.

ADJUST THE SWEETNESS
Peaches vary a lot in sweetness depending on ripeness and season. Start with 3/4 oz simple syrup, then taste before serving. If your peaches are especially sweet, you may want to pull back slightly.
SPICE LEVEL
Three to four jalapeño slices gives a gentle background heat. For more spice, muddle the seeds along with the slices. For a milder version, remove the seeds and ribs first.
SINGLE STRAIN VS DOUBLE STRAIN
Single straining leaves a little peach pulp in the glass for texture, while double straining gives you a cleaner, smoother sip. Neither is wrong, it just comes down to preference.
PEACH SELECTION
Fresh, ripe, in season peaches make the biggest difference here. We buy ours exclusively from local markets for the best flavor. If peaches are not in season, thawed frozen peaches work in a pinch.
MAKE IT A MOCKTAIL
Swap the tequila for an extra ounce of fresh orange juice and a splash of soda water for a non-alcoholic version with the same peach and jalapeño flavor.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.
A ritual we return to
Our cocktails are part of something bigger for us. They’re the beginning of Date Nite, a connection-centered experience we created to help you slow down, share a meal, and enjoy time with the one you love.
Each Date Nite is thoughtfully planned for you, so you are not stuck deciding what to cook or how to pull the night together. We pair one cocktail with a complete menu, a simple flow from prep to plate, and small details that make the evening feel easy and connected from start to finish.
It is not about perfection. It is about presence, and creating space to reconnect, whether that is with your partner or simply with yourself, over a really good meal.
