Why It Works

  • A frozen cocktail is a great place for peaches you've let get a little too ripe.
  • Blanco tequila and Suze both have an earthy flavor profile that makes them an excellent match.
  • Pre-batching and chilling the cocktail mixture the night before you serve it gives you a cold base that requires less ice in the blender and won't melt the drink right away.

Ripe peaches and tangy pineapples give this chilly tequila cocktail a fruity sweetness, balanced by the herbal, earthy notes from blanco tequila and Suze, a delicately bitter French aperitif.
