Fresh Peach Mojitos Cocktail

Fresh peach mojitos are a great cocktail to have for Cinco de Mayo, or while the soaking up the Summer sun. They’re an easy-to-make, refreshing Cuban cocktail.

I would like to think that when we have guests that I make them feel at home.  I hope that they feel like they can find a comfy seat outside, put their feet up and relax.  We have a pond in our backyard that is nestled in the woods.  Crickets, frogs sing their songs and early in the evening we can even hear the owls.

I have been known to fall asleep late in the evening after being serenaded by their chorus.  The squirrels keep up their frenetic pace, oblivious to my presence.  The dogs find their comfortable spots on the docks and for a little while we are all still.
So when we have guests, and the weather permits, I like to give them a little taste of this country life.  I could make things easier on myself if I just picked something up, quick and easy, for dinner.  Instead, I light candles, put out comfortable seating and prepare a meal that  they will talk about on the way home.

A great way to start any meal on a warm summer night is with a nice, fresh drink.  Nothing heavy, nothing too artificially sweet, just right with a light grilled dish.  I think if people knew how easy and quick it was to make a pitcher of fresh drinks they would stop serving their guests ‘pour and serve’ concoctions from the bottom shelf at the grocery store.

Few drinks help beat the heat like mojitos.  Fizzy, with a sweet-tart and minty flavor, this classic Cuban cocktail is refreshing from the first sip.  Muddle the mint with the lime juice, use a good white rum, and add club soda.  The fruity base is from fresh, ripe peaches.  This stone fruit makes  an irresistible partner for the citrus and mint.

That’s why fresh peach mojitos are one of my favorite summer drinks. They’re easily adaptable to what fresh fruit you like or have on hand, though.  I chose peaches because I had a bushel of ripe ones that I needed to use up. Peel the ripe peaches carefully as to not lose too much of their sweet juice!

What You’ll Need for Making Fresh Peach Mojitos

  • 3 cups peeled and coarsely chopped fresh peaches
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 3/4 cups sugar or agave
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
  • 16 ounces white rum
  • 32 ounces club soda, chilled

Place the peaches in a blender and puree until smooth.  You may pass the puree through a sieve to strain out the solids, but I don’t always do that.  it reminds me that I am eating a pureed fresh fruit!

Combine zest, lime juice, sugar and mint in a tall pitcher.  Use a wooden spoon to crush the mixture and imparting the mint in to the mix.
