Peachy Rum Sunset

Peachy Rum Sunset is a bright, fruity cocktail that’s as easy to enjoy as it is to make. White rum sets the base, while peach purée and juice bring in plenty of juicy flavor without being too sweet. A little lime juice keeps it balanced, and a splash of grenadine at the end gives it that pretty sunset look. It’s refreshing, smooth, and simple great for relaxing by the pool or serving up at your next get-together. Just pour, layer, and sip.

Tasting Notes

This Peachy Rum Sunset is sweet, smooth, and fruit-forward with a hint of citrus and a light splash of red from the grenadine. The white rum is clean and neutral, letting the peach shine through. Peach purée adds a thicker, fresh-fruit taste, while peach juice keeps things light and juicy. Lime juice adds just enough acidity to balance the sweetness. Pouring the grenadine last gives a soft red layer at the bottom and adds a gentle pomegranate note. It’s easy to drink, full of peach flavor, and looks great in the glass with that layered color.

Equipment and Glassware

All you need is a shaker, a jigger, and a spoon. A citrus press is helpful for the lime juice, and a strainer will give you a smooth pour. A spoon helps you drizzle the grenadine at the end so it layers nicely. Serve this in a rocks glass or stemless wine glass over ice something wide enough to show the color shift from peachy orange to reddish-pink at the base. This drink is simple to build but has a colorful look that makes it feel a little more special with almost no effort.
