A light, refreshing Halloween cocktail made with vodka, fresh peach, orange juice, and lime. It’s not too sweet or heavy, perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
  • 1 ripe peach, peeled and sliced
  • 2 oz (60 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup
  • Ice
  • Orange slice or fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Puree: Peel the peach, slice into wedges, and remove the pit. Blend the peach slices with 1 tablespoon of water or orange juice until completely smooth.
  2. Chill Your Glass: Place your serving glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill.
  3. Combine the Liquid Ingredients: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz vodka, 2 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 1.5 oz peach puree.
  4. Shake: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker feels frosty.
  5. Double-Strain: Remove the ice from the serving glass. Place a fine-mesh strainer over the glass and pour the contents of the shaker through it.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with an orange slice or a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a party, prep the peach puree and simple syrup a day ahead. Use fresh orange juice for best flavor. Adjust simple syrup to taste based on peach sweetness.
