Ingredients

  • 7 peaches - pitted and sliced
  • 28 fresh mint sprigs - plus more for garnish
  • ¾ cup honey simple syrup - cooled (see note)
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons ginger juice
  • 4 cups sparkling water
  • 4 cups of Ice - plus more for cocktail glasses
  • Vodka - optional

Instructions

  • To make the honey simple syrup, pour equal parts honey and filtered water in a saucepan. I would start with 2 cups each (You may end up wanting to make way more of these yummy cocktails and it lasts in the fridge for a while when you store it in an airtight mason jar). Heat mixture on low heat for 5-10 minutes and stir together. Pour in storage glass container and let cool.
  • Place 1 ripe peach (peeled) and 24 mint sprigs in a muddler. Muddle together until fragrant and most of the mint has formed into small pieces.
  • For the next 6 peaches, slice 3 of them in to slices and put the other half in a food processor.
  • Blend peaches in processor until smooth. This makes about 1 cup of peach puree.
  • Fill a standard-sized large pitcher (about 2-2.5 quarts) with 4 cups of ice. Next pour in the muddled mixture followed by the peach puree, honey simple syrup, lemon juice and ginger juice.
  • Finish off by adding in 4 cups of sparkling water. Give it a swirl and serve immediately in a cocktail glass fill will ice.
  • Garnish with more fresh mint and peach slices.
  • For an alcoholic drink, fill a tall cocktail glass with ice and cocktail. Add 1-2 oz of vodka, or liquor of choice, stir it a bit, then serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with pure maple syrup if desired. You just want to make sure that everything is warmed and thinned out a bit. Also, make sure the simple syrup cools a bit so it doesn’t melt the ice when you mix everything together.
  • You can also use seltzer or club soda instead of sparkling water. Make sure none of these drinks have unwanted added flavors or sugars.
