The Peach Martini is a vodka-based cocktail that gained widespread popularity in American bars during the 1990s, when flavored schnapps became a bartending staple and the era's broad "martini" trend encouraged bartenders to create fruit-forward alternatives to the classic dry gin martini. The combination of peach schnapps with vodka and citrus delivers a balance of peachy sweetness and tartness that proved highly adaptable for warm-weather entertaining. The drink appears consistently in cocktail reference guides including Difford's Guide, which describes it as taking peach schnapps in a more sophisticated direction, and remains a summer menu staple at bars and restaurants across North America.
