Enjoy a sweet, refreshing cocktail with this fruit-infused margarita. Peaches are muddled to form a juice, while tequila brings the strongness and peach schnapps enhance the fruit flavor. It's the perfect cocktail for when you want something citrusy on those warmer days. —Lauren Grant, Minneapolis, Minnesota
