Ingredients
Scale
Juices and Liquids
- 1 cup peach nectar or juice
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup sparkling water or club soda
Fruit
- ¼ cup peach slices (fresh or frozen)
Sweetener
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
Others
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the peach nectar, orange juice, peach slices, lemon juice, and honey or agave syrup if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Strain (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp, though this step can be skipped for a more fibrous drink.
- Prepare Glass: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes to chill the drink effectively.
- Mix and Top Up: Pour the peach mixture into the glass until it is about two-thirds full, then top off with sparkling water or club soda to add fizz. Stir gently to combine all flavors without losing carbonation.
- Garnish and Serve: Add fresh mint leaves and an extra peach slice on top for garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and fizzy taste.
Notes
- For an adult version, add a splash of peach schnapps or vodka for a refreshing cocktail.
- Try substituting mango or apricot nectar for a flavorful twist on the original peach base.
- Use frozen peaches instead of fresh to create a frosty drink without diluting it with extra ice.
