Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh ripe peaches are the star of this drink! If fresh ones aren’t available, frozen peaches work great too. Just let them thaw a bit before blending.
Honey or Simple Syrup: Honey adds natural sweetness and a hint of flavor. If you’re avoiding honey, try using agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan option.
Sparkling Water or Club Soda: I love using sparkling water for a lighter feel, but club soda gives a bit more fizz. You can also try flavored sparkling water for an extra twist!
Garnishes: While fresh raspberries and mint make for a lovely presentation, feel free to use any fruit like strawberries or blueberries. You could even add a lemon twist for zing!
How Do I Make the Perfect Peach Puree?
Creating a smooth peach puree is essential for this mocktail. Here’s how to do it right:
- Start by peeling the peaches. This is easier with ripe peaches, as the skin should come off easily. If you’re using frozen, thaw them first.
- Chop the peaches into smaller pieces for easy blending.
- Add the peaches to a blender with your choice of sweetener. Blend on high until completely smooth.
- If you prefer a really silky puree, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any bits of pulp.
With this method, you’ll create a delicious base for your mocktail that really captures that peachy goodness! Enjoy sipping! 🍑🥤
