peach nectar

Stone fruit drink

Peach nectar is a thick, sweet beverage made from peach purée, water, and sugar.

Unlike peach juice, which would be the strained liquid from the fruit, nectar retains pulp and body: The breakfast buffet offered orange juice and peach nectar.

Common in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisines, it's also a base for cocktails like the Bellini.
