Summer Peach Margarita

The dog days of Summer are officially here and so is our desire to cool off at the Farmer's Market. Don't sleep on this season's best and brightest produce! Yellow peaches this time of year are basically liquid sunshine. We plan to do this golden fruit justice and pay them the highest compliment by mixing them with tequila.
