Peach Mojito

Ingredients

• 2 cups white rum
• ¾ cups sugar
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 3 cups chopped ripe peaches
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• ½ cup mint leaves
• ½ cup crushed ice

Method

In a food processor, blend the peaches until they are smooth and have a puree like consistency. Press the puree through a very fine metallic sieve and discard any solid lumps. Chill the peach puree in the refrigerator.

In a large pitcher, combine the lime zest, sugar and lime juice and with the help of a spoon, mix them together until the sugar dissolves in the lime juice. Finely mince the mint leaves with the help of a sharp knife and add to the mixture. Add the chilled peach puree and rum along with the club soda. Serve in tall glasses over crushed ice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
