Notes
Pro Tips
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor. If peaches aren’t in season, substitute high-quality peach nectar or frozen peaches (thawed and blended).
- For extra depth, rim the glass with a mix of sugar and finely chopped mint for a sweet, aromatic touch.
- If you prefer a stronger herbal note, muddle extra mint leaves or add a dash of mint bitters.
- For a fizzy variation, top with a splash of club soda or sparkling wine.
- Try grilling the peach before muddling for a smoky, caramelized flavor twist.
