Notes

The drink tastes best with fresh peach nectar. Store-bought nectar works too, but check the sugar content and adjust the simple syrup amount.
Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice.
Store simple syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with peach tea or additional peach nectar.

Tasting Notes

The Peach Rum Fizz hits the palate with bright, fresh peach flavors mixed with warm Caribbean rum notes. The bubbles from the club soda create a light, airy texture that dances on the tongue.

Sweet fruit and vanilla tones from the rum blend perfectly with the natural peach. The drink stays balanced without becoming too sugary or syrupy.

Primary Flavors:

  • Fresh ripe peach
  • Vanilla-tinged rum
  • Light citrus
  • Crisp bubbles

The finish is clean and refreshing with subtle hints of oak from the aged rum. A gentle warmth lingers briefly before fading into a cooling fizz sensation.

This cocktail works best when served very cold at 35-40°F. The temperature helps maintain the carbonation while letting the peach and rum notes shine through clearly.

Garnishing with a fresh peach slice adds an extra layer of stone fruit aroma that enhances each sip. The scent mingles nicely with the rum’s sweet vanilla character.

Must Have Ingredients

Substitute

You can make this cocktail without peach rum. Regular white rum works well. You can also add 1 ounce of peach schnapps for the fruity flavor.

No peach schnapps? Try these fruit liqueurs instead:

  • Apricot liqueur
  • Mango liqueur
  • Peach nectar mixed with extra rum

For a non-alcoholic version, mix peach nectar with ginger ale and a splash of lime juice. Then, add a few drops of almond extract to create depth.

Common Substitutions:

The garnish can be changed too. When peaches aren’t in season, try:

Want it sweeter? Add simple syrup one teaspoon at a time until it reaches the right taste.
