What You'll Need for this Recipe
Gin is my martini spirit of choice forever and always, however, this Georgia peach martini cocktail tastes great with vodka, too so pick your poison.
Peach Simple Syrup adds the summery peach taste and soft orange color to this drink. I highly recommend using my homemade peach syrup over store-bought or ready made options for the best results--I promise it's easy, too!
Lemon Juice lends a little tartness and brightness that balance out the sweet notes. Fresh squeezed will taste the best but concentrated lemon juice can also work.

Substitutions & Variations
Peach Schnapps adds extra potency and peachiness but you can substitute with any peach liqueur, if needed, or try a similar flavored schnapps such as apricot.
Garnish options are completely up to you but for starters, consider a fresh peach slice, a twist of lemon, or a sprig of mint!
How to Make a Peach Martini at Home
Step One: Place your martini glass into the fridge or freezer to chill.
Step Two: Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker over ice.
Pro Tip: A chilled martini glass takes on a frosted appearance which is not only part of the signature martini presentation but also helps keep the drink cold without adding ice. This step is optional but highly recommended.
Step Three: Shake until fully chilled and mixed then strain into prepared cocktail glass.
Step Four: Garnish with a peach slice for extra presentation points (optional).
