Basil Peach Mojito [VIDEO]

Basil Peach Mojito Recipe– An end of the summer cocktail made with muddled peaches, fresh basil, and sparkling club soda. A refreshingly seasonal drink perfect for happy hour!

Hi, my name is Emily and I like mojitos.

I don’t think I’m sharing any groundbreaking information with you, I have made my love for these bubbly drinks well-known. I mean, I even add them to my salads. Come on now.

And I’m having a really hard time letting go of summer.  I mean, we do this every year, but this time ’round feels especially hard. Can’t a girl just have all the pumpkin things AND 80 degrees? Just this once?

Luckily the farmers market is still brimming with signs of summer. All the tomatoes. All the basil. and

All. The. PEACHES.

What I’ve Learned After Making Basil Peach Mojitos:

• Muddling is important. If you want to know the truth, I used a peanut butter knife in the video below. You don’t need a special gadget, just make sure you smush the crap out of the peaches and lime to extract their full awesome potential.
• They aren’t overly sweet. I honestly don’t like super sweet cocktails. This has an incredible balance of herbaceous, slightly sweet, and bubbly. Oh-so-bubbly. If you like more sweet, you can use more sugar, or even honey.
• Fall is still coming. I don’t care, I’ll be sipping one of these down in my flannel socks and blanket scarf. Worth it.

What better way to kiss all reality of summer ending goodbye, than with a cocktail that embodies all thing sunny and 75. Can I get an AMEN! Or at least a cheers. I’ll settle for a cheers at this point.

Enjoy!
