Peach fiesta: A peach cocktail perfect for Cinco de Mayo celebrations

As summer approaches, I can't help but think of my favorite summertime treat: fresh peaches. There's just nothing better (though a fresh, vine-ripened tomato comes close). We made peaches our featured ingredient for the May issue of Flourish, highlighting savory and sweet ways you can use them.

But peaches also make great cocktails, and this peach margarita recipe will be perfect for a Cinco de Mayo party! Bonus: Because it calls for frozen peaches, you can enjoy it any time of year.
