Ingredients
For the Peach Mojito:
* 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (make sure they’re nice and soft!)
* 10-12 fresh mint leaves
* 1 lime, cut into wedges
* 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste)
* 2 ounces white rum (I prefer Bacardi, but use what you like)
* Soda water, to top
* Peach slices and mint sprigs, for garnish
What are the steps to
Step 1: Muddle the Goodness
In a sturdy glass, add the peach slices, mint leaves, and lime wedges. Shake well. Use a muddler (or the back of an old wooden spoon) to gently crush the ingredients together. You want to release the flavors of the peach and mint, but don’t over-muddle – you don’t want a cloying mint flavor. How do you bruise mint?
Step 2: Sweeten the Deal
What is the best way to add simple syrup to a glass? If your peaches are super sweet, you might not need as much. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
Step 3: Rum It Up
How much white rum should I add? I like to use a good quality rum for the best flavor, but honestly, any white will do. If you’re not a fan of rum, you can substitute for tequila or vodka.
Step 4: Ice, Ice, Baby
I prefer crushed ice, but regular icing cubes work just fine too. Fill a glass with water and serve.
Step 5: Top It Off
Top the glass with soda water. I like to leave a little bit of room at the top so it doesn’t overflow.
Step 6: Stir & Garnish
Give the mojito a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients. Garnish with peach slices and a fresh mint sprig. Now, take one sip and enjoy! I always take the first sip to make sure the peach flavor is enough – sometimes you need to muddle. I like the peach flavor, but I’m not a fan of lime. Is it too strong?

What are some Storing and Reheating Tips?
What are the best ways to make Peach Mojitos? How do I store them in a computer?
Room Temperature: I don’t recommend storing mojitos at room temperature. The ice will melt, and the drink will become diluted.
Refrigerator Storage: You can store leftover mojitos in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to cover them tightly to prevent them from absorbing any weird fridge odors. The soda water will lose its fizz, but the flavor will still be good.
Freezer Instructions: I don’t recommend freezing mojitos. The soda water will separate, and the drink will become slushy and watery. However, you can freeze the peach mixture (without the rum and soda water) in ice cube trays and then add it to fresh soda water and rum when you’re ready to drink it.
Glaze Timing Advice: Since there’s no glaze, this doesn’t apply here. But if you’re using a sugared rim, it’s best to do it right before serving so the sugar doesn’t get soggy.
I always find that mojitos taste best when they’re freshly made, so I usually just make them as needed. That way, you can be sure they’re perfectly fizzy and flavorful. Plus, it’s always fun to muddle the ingredients and create your own personalized Peach Mojito!
