Notes
Pro Tips
- For an even fresher taste, use ripe, in-season peaches, and consider garnishing with an extra basil leaf for added fragrance.
- Adjust the sweetness by tweaking the amount of honey syrup to suit your taste.
- If you prefer a stronger basil flavor, add an extra leaf or two during muddling.
- Serve in a chilled glass to keep the cocktail cool and refreshing for longer.
