Peach Mojito Recipe

There’s something incredibly satisfying about mixing up a peach mojito that makes me feel like a cocktail artist living my best summer life, crafting a refreshingly unique concoction that dances in the glass before it ever touches my lips. 🍑✨

Infusing classic cocktails with a fresh twist is something I am passionate about, and my Peach Mojito does precisely that. It combines juicy, ripe peaches and refreshing mint with a hint of lime for real zest.

The balance of sweetness from granulated sugar with the smoothness of white rum makes this drink an irresistible delight. My favorite touch, which makes it a truly delicious cocktail, is the club soda, which in my mind is an essential ingredient for a Mojito.

Enjoy!

FAQ

• Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?If fresh peaches are unavailable, you can use frozen ones. Just be sure to thaw them first for best results.
• Is there a substitute for white rum?You can have a version with no alcohol if you prefer. Just leave out the rum, and add extra club soda. You can also use a non-alcoholic rum substitute.
• How can I make this mojito less sweet?Cut back on the sugar, or use a sugar substitute. Adjust to your taste.
• What type of glass should I use for serving?Mojitos are best served in a highball or Collins glass, which allows room for the ice and club soda. These glasses don’t just look pretty; they let a drink breathe.
• Can I prepare this in advance?Mojitos are best made fresh, as the mint and peaches can lose their bright flavors before too long. But if you want to save some time, you can mix the peach and mint a few hours ahead and stash it in the fridge.
• How many servings does this recipe make?This recipe produces a single serving. Modify the amounts as needed to create additional servings.

Peach Mojito Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Fresh mint leaves:
Replace basil leaves with a unique flavor twist.
Granulated sugar:
Consider honey or simple syrup as natural sweetener alternatives. Use them instead of regular sugar.
Lime juice:
Substitute lemon juice for a different profile of citrus. Citrus is a top flavor family for us. We strive to hit a full range of the flavor with all our gins. To use lime juice and achieve good balance and to get a bit more warmth in a drink without using rum (which gins should not support), we mix two parts gin to one part lime juice. We first developed this in a Cuban Gin & Tonic variation.
White rum:
Consider vodka for a neutral flavor that won’t modify the drink’s taste. Or use coconut rum for a twist.
Club soda:
Substitute with tonic water for a slightly sweeter and more bitter flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Choose the Right Peach Opt for a ripe, juicy peach for the best flavor. If it’s slightly under-ripe, you can grill the peach slices lightly to enhance their sweetness and add a subtle smoky flavor.

2. Chill Your Glass Before you start making the mojito, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes. This will keep the drink colder for longer and enhance the refreshing experience.

3. Muddle Gently When muddling the mint leaves and peach, be gentle to avoid tearing the mint into small pieces, which can make the drink bitter. You want to press just enough to release the oils and flavors.

4. Layer Ingredients After muddling, layer the ice cubes first, followed by the rum, and finally the club soda poured slowly. This helps maintain the carbonation of the soda and gives a nice visual layering effect.

5. Adjust Sweetness Taste your drink before serving, and if you find it needs more sweetness, dissolve some sugar in a small amount of warm water and add it incrementally until you’re satisfied.
