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.
