Peach Liqueur Cocktails

Peach liqueur is a sweet, fruity liqueur made from distilled spirits that have been flavored with fresh peaches or peach juice, along with sugar and other ingredients. The base spirit used in peach liqueur can vary, but it is often made from neutral grain spirits such as vodka or brandy. The exact recipe and ingredients used can vary between producers.

Peach liqueur has a bright, juicy flavor that is reminiscent of fresh peaches. It is often used as a flavoring agent in cocktails and can add a sweet, fruity note to a variety of drinks. Some popular cocktails that feature peach liqueur include the Bellini, Peach Margarita, and Peach Cosmo.

Peach liqueur can also be enjoyed on its own as a digestif or used as a dessert topping. Some producers also make variations of peach liqueur, such as spiced peach liqueur or peach brandy, which have additional flavorings and spices added.
