A quick and easy refreshing mocktail combining the zing of fresh ginger with the sweet, juicy flavor of ripe peaches, perfect for summer gatherings and family occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, ripe and juicy
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill your glass
  • Fresh mint leaves, a few sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the peaches under cool water, then pit and chop into chunks (about 2 cups). Peel and finely grate the ginger root. Squeeze fresh lemon juice and set aside.
  2. Place the peach chunks and grated ginger in a blender. Add honey (start with 1 tablespoon) and lemon juice. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until smooth.
  3. Optional: Pour the blended peach-ginger puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
  4. Add 2 cups (480 ml) of chilled sparkling water to the peach-ginger juice. Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or lemon juice if needed.
  5. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the mocktail over, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
  6. Enjoy immediately to keep the vibrant fizz and fresh flavor.

Notes

If peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches work well after thawing slightly. You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup for a vegan option. For a spicier twist, add a thin slice of jalapeรฑo or a dash of cayenne. Blend peaches with skin on for more nutrients and color, or peel for smoother texture. Prepare peach-ginger puree ahead but add sparkling water and ice just before serving to keep fizz fresh.
