Peach mojito
This peach mojito is a deliciously fruity twist on the classic cocktail. Easy to make, it's full of fresh summery flavors (that also works as a mocktail too).

Ingredients
- 1 peach (or nectarine)
- ½ lime
- 6 mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 ½ oz white rum 45ml
- 1 ½ oz soda water 45ml, or as needed
Instructions
- Cut the peach into about 6-8 slices. If grilling (as I recommend but you can skip), brush the peach slices lightly with oil and then grill all for a couple minutes each side until they have light char marks. Allow to cool slightly.
- Hold back a slice of peach for garnish, then put the rest in a cocktail shaker. Roughly tear the mint and add it along with the sugar and juice from the lime. Muddle all together until well broken up then add the rum, shake to mix, then strain into a glass part filled with ice. For a chunkier version, you can muddle directly in the glass then add ice and rum. Alternatively, use shaker but don't strain. in both cases, I'd suggest you will want to remove the peach skins first and be sure to muddle well.
- Top up the glass with soda water and stir gently to mix. Add the reserved peach slice and a sprig of mint as garnish and serve.
Notes
For a smoother version - put peach, mint, sugar and lime juice in blender and blend until smooth. Then continue as above.
If you prefer, you can use a simple syrup rather than sugar as it does avoid any potential issue of it not blending in (more an issue if making a batch). A simple syrup is simply equal parts sugar and water, warmed to dissolve the sugar, then cooled. Use roughly 1.5 times the amount of syrup compared to sugar (so ½ tbsp, 7.5ml instead of 1 tsp, 5ml per serving).
To make frozen - use frozen peach slices and put in blender as with smoother version.
For mocktail - use approx 1 ½ oz ginger beer and 1 ½ oz soda water instead of rum and soda, rest is the same.
