Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium fresh peaches, ripe and juicy, sliced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 3 cups (720 ml) sparkling water or club soda
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 tablespoon / 15 ml)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash and slice 2 medium ripe peaches into thin wedges.
- Peel and slice a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger into thin rounds.
- Place 10 fresh mint leaves and ginger slices into a mixing pitcher.
- Gently muddle the mint and ginger with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon for 1-2 minutes to release oils and aromas without bitterness.
- Add the peach slices and juice of half a lemon to the pitcher.
- Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup if desired, mixing well.
- Fill the pitcher about halfway with ice cubes, then pour in 3 cups (720 ml) of chilled sparkling water or club soda.
- Gently stir to combine without losing too much fizz.
- Let the mocktail rest for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Pour into tall glasses filled with additional ice if desired.
- Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a thin peach slice.
Notes
Do not over-muddle the mint to avoid bitterness. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Add sweetener based on peach ripeness and personal preference. Let the drink rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to meld flavors but serve within 30 minutes to keep fizz. Remove ginger slices if ginger flavor is too strong.
