Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
- Start by peeling and pitting your peaches. Cut them into smaller chunks to make blending easier.
- Place the peach chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until you have a smooth puree.
Step 2: Create the Cocktail Base
- In a large mixing jug, combine the peach puree with the lemon juice.
- Add honey to the mixture, stirring well until fully dissolved. Honey provides a natural sweetness that complements the peaches perfectly while keeping the drink healthy.
Step 3: Add Mint and Sparkling Water
- Tear the mint leaves roughly with your hands to release the flavors and add them to the peach mixture.
- Pour the sparkling water into the jug and stir gently. The fizz from the sparkling water adds a refreshing kick to this healthy peach cocktail.
Step 4: Serve with Style
- Fill your glasses halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour the peach cocktail over the ice and garnish with extra peach slices and mint leaves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, fruity refreshment!
