Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Ripe peaches provide the best flavor and sweetness for this mocktail. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can use canned peaches in juice (not syrup) or frozen peaches. Just thaw them before blending!
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice helps balance the sweetness of the peaches. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use lime juice or even skip it altogether if you like it sweeter.
Simple Syrup: This is used to sweeten the drink. You can easily make it at home by dissolving equal parts sugar and water. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try honey or agave syrup instead. Adjust the amount based on your taste!
Sparkling Water/Club Soda: Both options add some fizz. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can use flavored sparkling water for an extra twist. Just remember to choose a flavor that complements peach, like lemon or lime.
How Do I Make a Smooth Peach Puree?
The key to a smooth puree is in the blending process. Make sure to cut your peaches into smaller chunks before adding them to the blender, as this helps them blend more easily.
- Start by peeling your peaches using a paring knife or by blanching them in hot water for a minute.
- Remove the pits and chop them into smaller pieces.
- Add them to the blender with lemon juice and simple syrup.
- Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary. If it’s too thick, a splash of water can help.
Following these steps will ensure a beautiful, velvety texture in your mocktail!
