Notes
Pro Tips
- For a stronger mint flavor, muddle the leaves more aggressively before adding the other ingredients.
- Adjust the amount of ginger liqueur to your taste if you prefer a spicier kick.
- Using freshly squeezed peach nectar will enhance the natural sweetness and flavor of the cocktail.
- For a different twist, try using ginger beer instead of club soda for an extra ginger zing.
