What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
-
3 large ripe peaches (yellow peaches preferred)
-
750 ml plain vodka (something mid-range)
-
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice (to preserve colour and brightness)
Optional Add-Ins:
-
1 cinnamon stick (for a warm twist)
-
A few sprigs of fresh mint
-
1 tsp vanilla essence (for a creamy finish)
Equipment:
-
1 large clean mason jar or glass bottle (with tight lid)
-
Knife and chopping board
-
Fine mesh strainer or muslin cloth
-
Funnel
-
Glass bottles or jars for storing
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Slice the Peaches
Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into wedges or chunks — no need to peel. The skins add extra aroma and subtle colour.
Miami Magic Tip: Use slightly overripe peaches for maximum flavour and sweetness.
Step 2: Infuse the Vodka
Place the peach slices into a large mason jar. Add sugar and lemon juice. Pour in the vodka until all the fruit is covered. If you're adding vanilla or cinnamon, toss them in now.
Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake.
Step 3: Let the Magic Happen
Store the jar in a cool, dark place (like a cupboard) for 4–7 days. Shake it gently once a day to keep the flavours mixing.
Start tasting around Day 4. The longer it infuses, the stronger the peach flavour. Around Day 6 is usually just right.
Step 4: Strain & Store
When you’re happy with the flavour, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove all the fruit and sediment.
Use a funnel to pour your peachy creation into a clean bottle or jar. Keep it sealed and stored in the fridge or a cool dark place.

FAQs
Can I use canned or frozen peaches?
Fresh is best, but if peaches are out of season, frozen works in a pinch. Avoid canned peaches in syrup — they’ll make the infusion overly sweet and syrupy.
Does it matter which vodka I use?
You don’t need top-shelf vodka, but avoid the very cheap stuff. A clean, neutral mid-range vodka gives the best result.
Can I eat the peaches after infusing?
Technically yes, but they’ll be very boozy and soft. You can use them in a boozy dessert or smoothie, or discard them if the texture isn’t to your liking.
