  • When choosing tequila, opt for a high-quality brand for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter margarita, add a little extra sugar to taste.

  • Substitute tequila for vodka: Vodka is a great alternative for those who prefer a less intense flavor. It also has a milder taste, so it won't overpower the sweetness of the peaches.
  • Substitute sweet-and-sour mix for lime juice: Lime juice adds a tartness to the margarita that can be a nice complement to the sweetness of the peaches. It also adds a more natural flavor than the sweet-and-sour mix.

Strawberry Margarita Replace the peach schnapps with 1 ounce of strawberry liqueur and the frozen peaches with 1 cup of frozen strawberries. Process all ingredients in blender until smooth and pour into a margarita glass. You may frost the rim of the glass by rubbing strawberry juice on the rim and dipping in granulated sugar, if desired.


Mango Margarita Replace the peach schnapps with 1 ounce of mango liqueur and the frozen peaches with 1 cup of frozen mango.
