Equipment

• Cocktail shaker

Ingredients

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 ripe peach sliced
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz ginger simple syrup
• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• Club soda
• Ice cubes
• Fresh peach slice and mint sprig for garnish

For ginger simple syrup:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 inches fresh ginger peeled and sliced

Instructions

• Add peach slices and mint leaves to the shaker. Muddle gently to release oils and juices.
• Pour in the rum, lime juice, and ginger simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
• Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
• Strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Top with club soda.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine. Garnish with a peach slice and mint sprig.

To make ginger simple syrup:

• Combine water, sugar, and ginger in a small pot.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Let cool completely. Strain and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

The drink tastes best with ripe, in-season peaches. Yellow or white peaches both work well.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with additional club soda.

The ginger simple syrup keeps for up to 2 weeks when refrigerated in an airtight container.

Double strain the cocktail if you prefer no small bits of mint or peach in the final drink.

Tasting Notes

The Ginger Peach Mojito offers a bright and refreshing blend of sweet and spicy flavors. Fresh peach notes shine through first, followed by a warm ginger kick.

The mint adds a cooling touch that pairs perfectly with the light rum base. Each sip brings a balanced mix of fruity sweetness and zesty ginger spice.

The lime juice provides a tangy brightness that cuts through the sweetness. Combined with the bubbles from club soda, it creates a crisp and clean finish.

Key Flavor Notes:

• Sweet peach
• Spicy ginger
• Fresh mint
• Tangy lime
• Light rum
• Fizzy finish

The drink’s color is a soft peachy-pink with flecks of muddled mint throughout. Small bubbles rise steadily through the glass, carrying the aromatic blend of peach and ginger.

The texture is light and effervescent. Ice helps keep the drink cold while slightly diluting the strong flavors into a smooth, sippable cocktail.
