The Peachtree Punch 2.0 is a modern twist on the classic Peachtree Punch cocktail, which was a signature cocktail at the Atlanta Trader Vic’s in the 1970s. The original recipe was updated by Martin Cate of Smugglers Cove, who made several changes to the ingredients and preparation method to create this new version of the cocktail.
A Delightful and Refreshing Taste
The Peachtree Punch 2.0 is a delightful and refreshing cocktail made with fresh yellow peaches, orange juice, lemon juice, coconut cream, peach liqueur, blended light rum, and seltzer. It is garnished with grated nutmeg and a peach wedge. The cocktail is known for its scrumptious and delectable taste, reminiscent of the original Peachtree Punch enjoyed at Trader Vic’s.
Updated Recipe by Martin Cate
The updated recipe by Martin Cate replaced canned peaches with fresh ones, peach schnapps with Crème de Pêche, and store-bought coconut cream with house-made coconut cream. Additionally, fresh lemon juice was added, and the cocktail is flash blended rather than blended into a slushie.
