I’ve always had a soft spot for peach drinks, but the first time I tasted the Georgia Peach at The Cheesecake Factory, I remember thinking, this might be the best peach cocktail I’ve ever had. It’s sweet without being sugary, fruity without tasting artificial, and has that smooth little kick that makes you want another sip right away. When I finally figured out how to make it at home, I knew you’d want it in your kitchen too.

This recipe is a refreshing blend of peach purée, peach schnapps, vodka, and a splash of citrus. It tastes like summer in a glass, even if you’re making it in the middle of winter. It’s incredibly easy, super quick, and the kind of drink that instantly makes you feel like you’re on a patio somewhere with sunshine on your face.

What makes this drink special is how naturally the peach flavor comes through. You’re not masking anything. The ingredients work together so cleanly that every sip feels smooth and balanced. Plus, you can tweak it endlessly to match your vibe—stronger, sweeter, slushier, more citrusy… it’s your call.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Easy to make in just a few minutes
• Customizable to your taste
• Uses simple ingredients
• Tastes fresh, fruity, and smooth
• Great for parties, date nights, or relaxing evenings
• Works as both a cocktail and a non-alcoholic mocktail

Tools You’ll Need

• Blender – This is how you get that silky, restaurant-quality texture. Even a small blender works.
• Measuring cups and spoons – Keeps the flavors balanced so your drink doesn’t end up too strong or too light.
• Cocktail glass – A chilled glass makes the drink feel extra refreshing.
• Knife and cutting board – Just for slicing a peach garnish if you want that pretty finish.

Ingredients (US and Metric)

• 1 cup frozen peach slices (150 g) – They make the drink cold and thick.
• 2 oz vodka (60 ml) – Choose a smooth one to keep the drink mellow.
• 1 oz peach schnapps (30 ml) – Brings that strong peach note.
• 1 oz fresh orange juice (30 ml) – Adds brightness and balances the sweetness.
• 1 oz peach purée (30 ml) – Deepens the flavor and gives the drink body.
• 1 cup ice (about 130 g) – Helps with that blended consistency.
• Optional: 1 tbsp simple syrup (15 ml) if you want it sweeter.
• Optional garnish: fresh peach slices or a mint sprig.

Instructions

1. Add frozen peaches, vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, peach purée, and ice to your blender. If you like it sweeter, drizzle in the simple syrup.
2. I always start with less sweetener—you can add more later, but you can’t take it out.
3. Blend on high until everything looks smooth and creamy.
4. If the mixture gets stuck, stop for a second, give it a stir, and blend again. Totally normal.
5. Taste the drink. If you want it thicker, add a bit more ice. If you want it thinner, splash in some more orange juice.
6. Pour into a chilled glass.
7. This small step makes the drink feel extra refreshing—trust me.
8. Add a peach slice or mint sprig on top if you’re feeling fancy.

Serving Ideas

• Serve it with grilled chicken or light appetizers.
• Pair it with a summer salad for a breezy lunch drink.
• Turn it into a dessert-style slush by blending it longer and topping with whipped cream.
• Make a pitcher for parties by multiplying the ingredients.

Variations and Customizations

• Mocktail version: Swap vodka and schnapps for peach juice or sparkling lemonade.
• Citrus twist: Add a splash of pineapple juice.
• Stronger version: Add an extra ounce of vodka.
• Fruity upgrade: Blend in strawberries or raspberries.
• Creamy style: Add a tablespoon of coconut milk for a smooth tropical vibe.

Make-Ahead and Storage

• You can blend the drink ahead of time and freeze it in a container. When you’re ready to serve, let it thaw for 10 minutes and re-blend.
• Leftovers keep well in the freezer for up to 24 hours.
• Avoid storing it in the fridge—it’ll melt and lose the slushy texture.

Pro Tips and Mistakes to Avoid

• Use frozen peaches, not fresh. Fresh peaches won’t give you that slushy texture.
• Don’t skip the orange juice. It lifts the flavor and prevents the drink from feeling heavy.
• If it tastes dull, add a splash more peach schnapps.
• If it tastes too strong, balance it with more frozen peaches.
• Chill your glass. It’s a tiny detail that makes the drink instantly better.
