Ingredients

12 ounces fresh peach puree or frozen peaches pureed

4 ounces ginger syrup

2 ounces lime juice

6 ounces peach or nectar juice

8 ounces tequila

4 ounces cointreau

4 lime wedges

Colored sugars and lime and candied ginger and peach wedges for garnish

You can also place the mixture into an ice cream maker and make a lot for a party. With this method, the mixture stays frozen longer and has a better consistency.
