Peach Gin Recipe

Peach gin makes a delicious and pretty pale pink drink – enjoy it as it comes, or in a fabulous peach and raspberry cocktail with champagne or prosecco. 

Homemade Fruit Gin

Fruit-flavoured gins are everywhere at the moment and you could easily spend a fortune on them. However, this summery home-made infusion is something different and special. Delicious and refreshing, with the real taste of summer fruit, it is perfect for cocktails to serve at a party or barbecue.

Enjoy it in a peach and raspberry Bellini or a Tom Collins. A bottle of this home-made treat makes an excellent gift.

How to Make Peach Gin

Step one – First wash the peaches, and then cut each into eight segments. Discard the stone.

Step two – Place the peach segments, the sugar and the gin in a wide-mouthed jar. Seal it and then give it a swirl, to help dissolve the sugar.

Step three – Store the jar somewhere cool and dark (the fridge is ideal). Swirl the jar twice a day, until the sugar is dissolved.

Step four – After about a week to 10 days, the gin is ready to decant. Strain the gin using a sieve and cloth. Then decant the gin into a clean bottle. The boozy peaches can then be eaten. Try them with cream or use them to make your favourite soft-fruit pudding.

Step five – Enjoy your peach gin! Keep it in the fridge and drink within about 2 weeks. It works well with tonic water, or to make a peach and raspberry cocktail, add a splash of blitzed raspberries.

Hints, Tips & Variations for Peach Gin

• Use the best quality, ripe but not over-ripe peaches. 
• Adjust the sweetness to taste.
• Swap the peaches for nectarines for variety.
• Add a few almonds to make a peach and almond gin.
• Orange helps to enhance peach flavour, so add a few shavings of orange zest to the jar.
• Keep in the fridge once strained. 

How to Serve Peach Gin

• As is, either over the rocks or straight up.  
• Add some botanicals. Herbs and berries, such as a few crushed raspberries and a spring of basil, are delicious.
• Make a peach kir (Kir Pêche) by adding wine, or a Kir Pétillant or Royale with sparkling wine or champagne.
• Peach pairs wonderfully with blue cheese. A shot of peach gin makes an excellent accompaniment to a cheeseboard.
