Peach Mojito Cocktail Recipe

A peach mojito blends the sweetness of ripe peaches with the crisp flavor of fresh mint and lime. The balance of white rum, fruit, and fizz makes a refreshing drink that just works for warm days or casual get-togethers.

Equipment

• Muddler for crushing mint leaves and peaches
• Cocktail shaker or mixing glass for blending ingredients
• Bar spoon for stirring
• Jigger to measure rum, lime juice, and syrup
• Fine strainer if you’re using peach puree
• Highball glass or tall glass for serving
• Knife and cutting board for slicing peaches and limes
• Ice cubes to chill the drink
• Small pitcher or measuring cup for club soda or sparkling water

I’ve found that a sturdy muddler releases mint oils without shredding the leaves. A tall glass leaves plenty of room for ice and bubbles, which keeps things light and crisp.

Ingredients

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 1/2 ripe peach, sliced or 2 tbsp peach puree
• 6–8 fresh mint leaves
• 2–3 oz club soda or sparkling water
• Ice cubes
• Peach slices, mint sprig, and lime wedge for garnish

Honestly, fresh peaches are best when you can get them—they add a natural sweetness. If you only have frozen peaches, blending them into a puree works too. Adjust the syrup to taste, depending on how sweet your fruit is.

Instructions

• Drop mint leaves and peach slices into a glass.
• Gently muddle to release the flavor.
• Pour in lime juice, simple syrup, and white rum.
• Add ice cubes until the glass is about halfway full.
• Shake or stir well to blend.
• Top with club soda or sparkling water.
• Give it a gentle stir to combine.
• Garnish with a mint sprig, peach slice, and lime wedge.

When I muddle, I aim to bruise the mint just enough without shredding it—otherwise, it gets bitter. Serve right away while it’s cold and fizzy.

Notes

I like to chill the rum and soda ahead of time so the ice melts slower. Peach puree gives a smoother texture, while muddled slices add more color and a bit of texture.

If you want a lighter drink, just use less rum or add more soda. For a stronger peach taste, try mixing ripe peaches into the syrup before you cool it. Fresh mint is a must—dried mint just doesn’t have the same aroma or taste.

Tasting Notes

I get this gentle mix of sweet peach and fresh mint in every sip. The flavor feels light and clean—honestly, it’s just about perfect for a summer cocktail on a sunny afternoon.

The lime juice brings in a crisp edge that cuts through the sweetness. I notice the rum offering a mild warmth, but it never takes over the fruit.

It blends with the peach so well, and the drink stays easy to enjoy. When I serve it cold, the bubbles from the club soda really lift up the aroma of mint and fruit.

The scent reminds me of fresh herbs and ripe peaches at their best. At summer gatherings, guests always seem to enjoy how this drink looks just as much as the taste.

The pale orange color and those floating mint leaves make it look so inviting and bright. Each sip leaves a clean finish, with just a hint of citrus and herb.

I like that it doesn’t get heavy or too sweet, which keeps things refreshing all the way through.
