Notes
8-serving shaken peach daiquiri pitcher recipe: Stir together 2 cups peach purée, 2 cups white rum, 1 cup lime juice and 1 cup simple syrup. Refrigerate up to a day. When ready to serve, stir the pitcher well, pour 6 ounces per drink into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake as you would.
- Give your frozen drink a few minutes to sit before serving. After blending, you’ll notice it’s a bit thick to drink — you almost need a spoon. After a few minutes of sitting at room temperature, the daiquiri will melt just a bit to give you a drinkable consistency.
- Plan for one peach per shaken drink. While this slightly varies based on size, one peach should yield about 2 ounces of peach purée.
- To prepare fresh peach purée, add chunks or slices of peeled peaches to a blender with a splash of water and process until smooth.
- Keep the peach purée in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. The peach purée will oxidize and darken in color, so add some fresh lime or lemon juice to slow down oxidation and preserve the color. Alternatively, you can freeze the peach purée.
- If you don't have an ice machine to make crushed ice, which blends more easily, you can crush it yourself. Place ice cubes in a sealable bag and smash it with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
