There’s something special about a ripe, juicy peach in the middle of summer. Sweet, refreshing, and unmistakably seasonal, peaches are a taste of summer—and for the Harrison Group, they’re also a taste of home.
Long before the Harrison family became a part of Ocean City’s hospitality community, the family’s roots were planted in the orchards of Berlin, Maryland. Harrison Brothers Nurseries became known throughout the country for its peaches and operated thousands of acres of peach orchards on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. That agricultural heritage remains an important part of the Harrison Group story today.
So, when August rolls around and National Peach Month arrives, there’s no better way to celebrate than by bringing a little of that history to the table.
This year, Harrison Group restaurants throughout Ocean City are celebrating with a lineup of peach-inspired cocktails, appetizers, entrées, desserts, and more. Whether you’re looking for something sweet, savory, refreshing, or a little bit of all three, there’s a peach special waiting for you.
Start your Peach Month adventure at Harrison’s Harbor Watch, where you can pair spectacular inlet views with a couple of peach-inspired favorites.
The Life’s a Peach cocktail combines jalapeño-infused tequila, peach simple syrup, grapefruit, soda, and lime for a refreshing drink with just the right amount of sweetness and a little kick.
For dinner, try the Peach Bourbon Salmon, featuring fresh Atlantic salmon roasted and finished with a peach bourbon glaze. It’s a delicious combination of savory seafood and the natural sweetness of summer peaches.
At 32 Palm in the Hilton on 32nd street, peaches take center stage with a cocktail and a savory appetizer.
The Peach on the Beach combines vodka, peach schnapps, peach nectar, cranberry juice, and orange juice for a light and refreshing cocktail with plenty of fruity flavor.
For something to share, order the Grilled Peach & Burrata Crostini. Grilled artisan crostini are topped with creamy burrata, caramelized peaches, fresh basil, and a drizzle of hot honey and balsamic glaze, then finished with cracked black pepper and flaky sea salt. It’s the perfect example of how versatile the summer peach can be.
32 Palm is also featuring a Peach Summertime Flatbread, topped with sliced peaches, herb-whipped goat cheese, arugula, honey, and reduced balsamic.
Looking for something heartier? The Sticky Southern Peach Glazed Ribs feature tender, slow-cooked baby back ribs generously glazed with sweet Southern peach BBQ sauce and finished with a smoky, caramelized flavor.
And for dessert, the Bourbon Peach Cobbler brings together bourbon-kissed peaches, a buttery golden cobbler crust, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a drizzle of rich caramel sauce.
The Original Pool Bar at 66th Street
Sometimes the best place to celebrate summer is poolside. At The Original Pool Bar at the Holiday Inn Oceanfront, grab a Tito’s Peach Tea, made with Tito’s vodka, peach schnapps, and iced tea. It’s an easygoing, refreshing cocktail that fits right in with a day at the beach or pool.
At Coral Reef in the Holiday Inn & Suites on 17th street, peach season gets a bourbon twist. The Bourbon Peach Iced Tea combines Bulleit bourbon, peach purée, and iced tea for a refreshing cocktail with a little Southern character.
Then finish things off with the Peach Honey Hot Cheesecake, a sweet and seasonal dessert that’s perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself.
Deep End Pool Bar
Over at the Deep End Pool Bar, you’ll find the same Bourbon Peach Iced Tea, made with Bulleit bourbon, peach purée, and iced tea. And because no summer celebration is complete without dessert, the Peach Honey Hot Cheesecake is also on the menu.
A Taste of Where We Started
For the Harrison Group, Peach Month is about more than creating a few seasonal menu items. It’s an opportunity to celebrate where the company came from.
The Harrison family’s history in this area began with orchards, peaches, and agriculture in Berlin. Eventually, that same family transitioned from the orchards to the oceanfront, opening Harrison Hall in Ocean City and beginning the hospitality story that continues today.
More than a century later, peaches are still a part of that story, this time served in a cocktail glass, on a plate, or alongside an ocean view.
So, whether you’re spending the day at the beach, relaxing poolside, exploring the Boardwalk, or enjoying dinner with friends and family, make Peach Month part of your Ocean City summer.
From the orchard to the ocean, there’s always a reason to celebrate a peach.
