Equipment

Ingredients

For one serving:

*For ginger syrup:

Ripe, fresh peaches work best for this recipe. If peaches aren’t in season, thawed frozen peaches can substitute. The homemade ginger syrup adds a spicy kick that balances the sweet peach flavor.

Instructions

Make ginger syrup (can be prepared ahead):

  • Combine water, sugar, and sliced ginger in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cool completely, and strain out ginger pieces.
  • Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Prepare the mocktail:

The shaking process helps blend the flavors together. Add the sparkling water after shaking to maintain its fizz.

    Notes

    This recipe can be easily modified to suit different tastes. For less sweetness, reduce the ginger syrup to ½ oz. Add more sparkling water for a lighter drink.
    Make a pitcher version for parties by multiplying the ingredients by the number of servings needed. Add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain carbonation.
    For a stronger ginger flavor, let the ginger steep in the syrup longer or add a few drops of ginger juice. The mocktail can be made kid-friendly by reducing the ginger syrup and adding a splash of lemonade.
    Store leftover peach puree in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in ice cube trays for future use.

    Tasting Notes

    This Sparkling Peach Ginger Mocktail offers a balanced blend of sweet and spicy flavors. The fresh peach provides a natural sweetness that feels light on the palate.

    The ginger adds a warm, zesty kick that complements the peach without overpowering it. This creates a pleasant contrast between the fruit’s softness and the ginger’s sharpness.

    Carbonation from the sparkling water brings a refreshing effervescence. The bubbles help distribute the flavors evenly across the tongue and add a lively texture to each sip.

    Flavor Profile:

    • First impression: Sweet peach aroma
    • Mid-palate: Warming ginger notes
    • Finish: Clean, refreshing sparkle

    The drink appears peachy-orange with a slight cloudiness from the fruit. Garnishes of mint or peach slices add visual appeal and subtle aromatic notes.

    This mocktail tastes best when thoroughly chilled. Ice dilutes the flavors slightly but maintains the drink’s refreshing quality during warmer weather.

    The aftertaste is clean with lingering hints of ginger that slowly fade. No artificial sweetness or syrupy quality remains on the palate.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitutes

    Making a Sparkling Peach Ginger Mocktail is easy even when you don’t have all the ingredients. Here are some simple swaps you can use.

    No fresh peaches? Use frozen peaches, canned peaches (drained), or peach nectar instead. Peach tea can work in a pinch too.

    Ginger Alternatives:

    • Ground ginger (¼ tsp per 1 tbsp fresh ginger)
    • Ginger tea bags
    • Ginger ale (reduce other sweeteners if using)

    Sweetener Options:

    For the sparkling element, you can swap club soda with:

    Lime juice works well instead of lemon juice. You can also try orange or grapefruit juice for different citrus notes.

    For garnish, mint leaves can replace basil. Cucumber slices add a refreshing touch if you don’t have fruit for garnish.
