I combine peach vodka, peach puree, simple syrup and lime in my White Peach Martini and I’ll share the unexpected trick that makes it stand out.

Jump to Recipe

I stumbled onto this White Peach Martini at a backyard party and I still think about it. It feels like a small, slightly naughty secret: silky, fruity, and not too sweet, with a brightness that catches you off guard.

I like that the peach vodka gives it a clean, boozy backbone while the white peach puree makes the flavor feel grown up, like summer put on a dress. I won’t lie, I made a mess the first time I tried to make it, but that only made me want it more.

You’ll know what I mean when you taste it.

Peach vodka: adds boozy peach flavor, calories from alcohol, no real vitamins or fiber.
White peach puree: fresh fruit fiber, vitamin C, juicy sweetness, makes cocktail more fruit forward.
Simple syrup: straight sugar and water, pure carbs, raises sweetness fast, use sparingly.
Fresh lime juice: tart vitamin C boost, adds bright sour zip, balances sweet peach.
Ice: just water, chills and dilutes, softens alcohol bite, no calories or nutrients.
Peach slice garnish: pretty, tiny fruit fiber and flavor, makes drink feel fresh and fancy.
Mint sprig: aromatic, almost zero calories, adds cool herbal lift and bright smell to sip.

Ingredient Quantities

2 oz peach vodka, good quality not the cheap stuff

1 oz white peach puree, fresh if you can or canned works too

1/2 oz simple syrup (one to one sugar and water)

1/2 oz fresh lime juice, about half a lime

Ice, plenty for shaking

Peach slice or lime wheel for garnish optional

Small sprig of mint optional but nice

How to Make this

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

1. Stick your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice to chill while you mix the drink.

2. In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz peach vodka (use a good one, dont skimp), 1 oz white peach puree, 1/2 oz simple syrup and 1/2 oz fresh lime juice.

3. Give the peach puree a quick stir before adding if it looks separated, canned works fine but cold puree blends easier.

4. Fill the shaker plenty with ice, about three quarters full, then seal it up.

5. Shake hard for about 12 to 18 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold, thats when its properly chilled and slightly diluted.

6. Double strain into the chilled martini glass through a fine mesh if you want a silky smooth pour with no pulp.

7. Taste once, if it needs sweeter add a bit more simple syrup, if too sweet add a squeeze more lime.

8. Garnish with a peach slice or lime wheel and a small sprig of mint if you like, serve immediately and enjoy.

Equipment Needed

1. chilled martini glass, stick it in the freezer or fill with ice for a few mins
2. cocktail shaker (cobbler or Boston style)
3. jigger or measuring spoons (for 2 oz, 1 oz, 1/2 oz)
4. fine mesh sieve for double straining (keeps pulp out)
5. cocktail or Hawthorne strainer if your shaker needs one
6. citrus juicer or hand reamer for the lime
7. blender or food processor for fresh peach puree, or a jar and fork if canned
8. long bar spoon or regular spoon to stir the puree if it looks separated
9. small knife and cutting board for garnish
10. ice scoop or tongs and plenty of ice for shaking

FAQ

Can I use regular peach schnapps instead of peach vodka?

Yes you can, but schnapps is much sweeter and lower proof so the drink will be sweeter and less boozy. If you use schnapps reduce or skip the simple syrup.

How do I make white peach puree if I only have canned peaches?

Drain canned peaches and blitz them in a blender until smooth. If theyre syrupy, rinse first or reduce the added simple syrup in the recipe.

Do I have to double strain?

No its optional. Double straining removes pulp and ice shards for a silkier martini, single strain gives more peach texture.

Whats a good substitute for fresh lime juice?

Fresh is best but bottled 100% lime juice can work in a pinch. Avoid sweetened lime mixes, they change the balance.

How long can I keep the puree?

Fresh peach puree lasts 48 hours in the fridge in an airtight container. You can freeze portions for up to 2 months.

Any idea for a nonalcoholic version?

Use peach nectar or puree with a splash of white grape juice and extra lime, shake with ice and top with soda for fizz.

White Peach Martini Recipe Substitutions and Variations

White Peach Martini

This one is light, fragrant and easy to make. It tastes like a sunny afternoon, and it’s surprisingly classy for how fast it comes together. Use good peach vodka if you can, but I’ll give easy swaps below in case you don’t have any.

Ingredients
– 2 oz peach vodka, good quality not the cheap stuff
– 1 oz white peach puree, fresh if you can or canned works too
– 1/2 oz simple syrup (one to one sugar and water)
– 1/2 oz fresh lime juice, about half a lime
– Ice, plenty for shaking
– Peach slice or lime wheel for garnish optional
– Small sprig of mint optional but nice

Method
1. Chill a martini glass while you mix.
2. Add peach vodka, white peach puree, simple syrup and lime juice to a shaker. Fill the shaker with ice.
3. Shake hard for 12 to 18 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold, you want it well chilled and a little frothy.
4. Double strain into the chilled martini glass to remove pulp and ice chips, unless you like it a bit rustic.
5. Garnish with a peach slice, lime wheel or mint sprig. Sip slowly, enjoy the peach.

Substitutions

Peach vodka: swap for plain vodka plus 1/2 oz peach schnapps for extra peachy-ness, or use vanilla vodka for a rounder sweeter vibe.
White peach puree: use strained peach nectar, or mash canned peaches and run through a sieve; apricot puree also works in a pinch.
Simple syrup: use honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water) or agave nectar for a slightly richer sweetness.
Fresh lime juice: swap for fresh lemon juice if you like it a bit brighter, or use 3/4 oz bottled lime in a hurry but fresh is best.

Pro Tips

1) Chill everything, not just the glass, it really helps. Stick the martini glass in the freezer, and if your peach puree or vodka arent cold put them in the fridge for a bit too. Cold ingredients mean less aggressive shaking and a smoother drink.

2) Shake until the shaker feels frosty, thats your cue that it’s properly chilled and diluted a bit. Dont be shy about a firm, full shake, but stop as soon as the metal gets cold or you’ll over dilute.

3) Use cold, well-stirred puree and double strain if you want silky texture. If the puree looks separated give it a quick stir or zap it briefly in a blender, then pour through a fine mesh to leave pulp behind.

4) Taste and tweak, dont just follow the proportions blindly. If it’s flat add a bit more lime, if it’s too tart add tiny amounts of syrup. And use decent vodka, cheap stuff hides the peach flavor instead of supporting it.
