Tasting Notes
This Peach Ginger Mojito twist is smooth, spiced, and fruity with a nice kick of ginger. The spiced rum brings warmth, while the peach purée and flavored syrup add a soft sweetness. Ginger ale and ginger syrup give it a crisp, slightly spicy edge that pairs well with the mint and lime. The result is balanced—bright, slightly sweet, a little fizzy, and easy to sip. The mint and peach garnish give it a clean finish with a fresh aroma.
Equipment and Glassware
You’ll need a shaker or mixing glass, jigger, and a bar spoon. A strainer is helpful for a smoother pour, especially if your peach purée is thick. Use a highball or Collins glass to give the drink room for ice and garnish. A muddler or the back of a spoon can help release the mint’s aroma if you want to add extra fresh mint in the mix. Garnish with a peach slice and mint sprig for a clean look.
