Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2–3 ripe peaches, washed, peeled (optional), and sliced
- 2 cups chilled sparkling water
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Puree: Wash, peel if desired, and slice 2-3 ripe peaches. Place the peach slices into a blender and pulse until smooth. For a silkier texture, strain the puree; for some texture, blend minimally.
- Add Fresh Lemon Juice and Sweetener: Pour in 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and sweeten with 1-2 teaspoons of honey or agave syrup, adjusting sweetness to taste.
- Mix the Peach Base with Sparkling Water: Transfer the peach puree mixture into a serving pitcher. Gently stir in 2 cups of chilled sparkling water, stirring carefully to preserve the fizz.
- Add Ice and Fresh Mint: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach sparkling mix over them. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Serve Immediately and Enjoy: Serve right away to enjoy the full refreshing qualities. Keep extra sparkling water available for topping off glasses.
Notes
- Use the ripest peaches to maximize natural sweetness and reduce added sweeteners.
- Chill both the sparkling water and peach puree before mixing for optimal refreshment.
- Stir gently after adding sparkling water to maintain carbonation.
- Experiment with herbs like basil or rosemary as alternatives to mint for varied aromas.
- Prepare the peach base ahead of time but add sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink fizzy.
