Make it.

  1. Rim a tall glass with lime and worm salt, then fill it with ice.
  2. Shake tequila, peach nectar, lime juice, agave, and jalapeno with ice.
  3. Strain into the prepared glass.
  4. Top with sparkling water and stir once.

To Serve

Garnish with a peach slice and a very thin jalapeno wheel.

Ritual

Sip slowly from the salted rim. The peach should arrive first, then the lime, then a clean spark of jalapeno.

Adapted from the existing Don Catrín recipe.

Story

Peach is one of those summer flavors that almost asks for salt. It is soft, fragrant, and sweet, which makes it perfect for a drink with lime, bubbles, and a little chile heat.

Blanco tequila keeps this cooler crisp, while jalapeno gives it a quick spark. Worm salt brings the savory finish that makes the peach taste more like peach and keeps the cocktail from becoming too sweet.

This one feels easy, but it has structure: fruit, acid, heat, mineral bubbles, and the Oaxacan edge of the rim.

Notes & Variations

  • For less heat, shake without jalapeno and use it only as garnish.
  • Use mezcal instead of tequila if you want a smoky peach profile.
