Ingredients
Mocktail Base
- 2 pieces ripe peaches sliced
- 5 leaves fresh basil
- 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup optional, adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
To Serve
- 240 ml sparkling water or soda water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 slices peach for garnish
- 2 leaves basil for garnish
Instructions
- Make the base: In a small bowl or glass, combine sliced peaches, basil leaves, and honey or agave if using. Gently mash with a spoon or muddler to release the juices and aromas.
- Add citrus: Stir in the lemon or lime juice to brighten the mixture.
- Prepare to serve: Fill two tall glasses with ice. Strain the peach-basil mixture into each glass, or pour directly for a more rustic feel.
- Finish with sparkle: Top each glass with sparkling water or soda. Stir gently and garnish with peach slices and basil leaves.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor. Gently muddle basil to avoid bitterness. Chill ingredients ahead of time for the most refreshing result. Swap basil for mint or add a splash of peach juice for variations. Great for brunches, baby showers, or summer afternoons.
