Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 fresh lemons (for about 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges
- 1 to 1.5 cups chilled sparkling water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 5–6 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash the peaches and lemons thoroughly. Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Juice the lemons until you have approximately 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
- Muddle peaches and mint: In a sturdy glass or shaker, gently muddle the peach slices with a few fresh mint leaves to release their juicy aroma and oils.
- Add lemon juice and sweetener: Pour in the fresh lemon juice and drizzle with honey or agave syrup if using. Stir gently to combine all the flavors well.
- Pour sparkling water: Top the mixture with chilled sparkling water and gently stir to maintain the fizz.
- Garnish and serve immediately: Add a few peach slices and mint sprigs for garnish. Serve the mocktail in a tall glass filled with ice.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Chill all ingredients ahead of time to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
- Don’t over-muddle the fruit to avoid turning it into mush; gentle pressing is sufficient.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste, tasting as you go.
- Use quality unflavored or lightly flavored sparkling water to maintain balance.
- If needed, canned peaches in juice can substitute fresh peaches but reduce added sweetener accordingly.
- This mocktail is suitable for all ages as it contains no alcohol.
- You can premix the peach-lemon base and add sparkling water just before serving to preserve fizz.
