Dickey Farms has farm-fresh Georgia peaches picked at their prime for the sweetest, juiciest flavor. The following summer cocktails are perfect for porch sipping.
An excellent cocktail for brunches, the peach bellini takes two simple ingredients — peach puree and prosecco. Many people add a splash of raspberry or cherry juice to get the right color, but that isn't required.
While fresh, ripe peaches are the best ingredients, you can also use drained canned peaches when they are not in season. You can also replace the prosecco with sparkling juice or seltzer.
If you enjoy a good bourbon, you'll like the bourbon peach smash for its warm, fruity flavor profile. This peach cocktail uses macerated peach slices, which you can easily make at home. The maceration process softens the fruit and pulls in other flavors. You can add ginger, chili or extracts to inject more flavor into the peach, or just enjoy the flavors of fresh peach and bourbon on their own.
A margarita is a signature summer drink because of its bright, tart flavors. Adding peach and a bit of spice gives this standard drink a twist. In addition to your standard margarita ingredients — lime juice, orange liquor, tequila and simple syrup — this cocktail includes fresh pureed peaches and a chili-lime seasoning mix for the rim.
For taco night, chop up any extra peaches and add them to your avocado salsa for a sweet twist.
An Arnold Palmer — a mix of tea and lemonade — is a perfect summer beverage that only improves when you add peaches. This peach drink recipe includes iced sweet tea, which you can purchase from the store or make at home. If you don't already have your Granny's sweet tea recipe, try this:
In a cocktail shaker, add pureed or muddled fresh peaches, your choice of rum, peach schnapps and lemonade. Shake to combine, and pour into a tall cocktail glass. Top with your sweet tea, then add a garnish of sliced peaches, mint and lemon.
For an alcohol-free version, just leave out the rum and schnapps.
An Aperol spritz is a classic cocktail, and our Apple Cider Spritz is perfect for fall apple season. In summer, you can substitute apple cider with our fresh peach cider to make a peach spritz. This cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to a summer bonfire or with a slice of peach cobbler.
As a family-owned and operated farm, Dickey Farms prioritizes fresh, seasonal products. Georgia peaches are the perfect summer fruit, so choose from our many peach varieties to add a sweet, peachy kick to your summer cocktail menu. Order your peaches online or visit our farm during the season.
