A peach martini is a cold, vodka-based alcoholic beverage with peach or peach-flavored components. It has a sweet flavor and is served in a martini glass. Although it has the same name as the classic martini, it does not have similar ingredients and is often called a martini only because of the glass it is served in. When served, a peach martini can be a liquid drink or it can be a frozen drink with a texture similar to a thin iced milkshake.

While most peach martinis are made with peach-flavored alcohol, such as peach vodka or peach schnapps, some peach martinis contain actual peach components. Even when they don’t contain peach fruit, many peach martini glasses have a fresh peach garnish for presentation. The peach contained in a drink is usually peach puree or peach nectar. When there are other fruity or peach flavored components in a drink, the peach martini can contain other flavors of vodka such as vanilla or citrus instead of peach vodka.

Other flavored martinis that aren’t technically martinis include the appletini, the caramel martini, and the chocolate martini.
The classic standout design of the martini glass helped popularize martini drinking. Martinis are served in glass stemware with an angled glass design unique to this type of spirits glass.
