A fresh fruit spin on the frozen daiquiri. . Elana Lepkowski

A sophisticated take on a blended fruit daiquiri, made with naturally sweet ripe peaches, flavored with white pepper and green tea.

Why this recipe works:

  • Chilling the mixture overnight ensures your daiquiri will not dilute when it's combined with the ice, and gives a slush that better holds its shape.

Note: if you double the recipe, blend it in two batches to avoid overflowing your blender.
