This drink came to life on a humid afternoon when I was craving something cool but didn’t want more caffeine or sugar. I had a ripe peach on the counter, fresh mint from the garden, and a lime in the fridge.

With one muddle and a quick stir, bam — the Peach Mojito Twist was born. It’s sweet, citrusy, bubbly, and unbelievably refreshing. The kind of drink that feels a little fancy… but takes 10 minutes. No alcohol needed — just pure summer vibes.

Peach Mojito Twist Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe peach, peeled and sliced

• Juice of 1 lime

• 6–8 fresh mint leaves

• 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of peach)

• ¾ cup cold water

• ¾ cup sparkling water or club soda

• Ice cubes

• Extra mint or peach slices for garnish

Instructions:

1. Muddle the flavors: In a glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the peach slices, lime juice, mint leaves, and honey/maple syrup until juicy and fragrant.

2. Add water: Stir in cold water and strain mixture into two glasses filled with ice (if you want it smoother).

3. Top with sparkle: Add sparkling water and gently stir. Garnish with fresh mint and a peach slice.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it fizzy: Use flavored sparkling water like lime or peach for an extra burst.

• Make it a mocktail bar: Set out bowls of sliced fruit and herbs so guests can mix their own.

• Want to prep ahead? Muddle the base and refrigerate — add sparkling water just before serving.
