The heat has been bringing even more of the beverage making machine in me lately. I've been drinking a lot of Mango Lassi, Blueberry Smoothies (strawberry too!) and the other evening I decided it was time to make a Peach Mojito.
Not too long ago I was treated to lunch at 1844 house. The owner/chef, Brian Walker, invited me to join him for a lunch prepared by him and I talked to him about his restaurant run by himself and his wife Jenny. In the near future I will have a post about their place and their concept of food - which I totally agree with! If you are in this area, you must go there! While there, I saw on his drink menu a Peach Mojito. I mentioned the drink to him because it attracted my attention immediately - I love peach anything and when it comes to booze :it is no exception - AND I love Mojitos!
I decided to try my hand at Mojito making with peaches. It has been on my mind ever since that lunch with Brian. The weather this week was perfect for making a Frosty Cool Peach Mojito so I set about it, made them last night and tonight, when I wanted to make a Strawberry drink? Grumpy wanted Peach Mojitos. So we had them again tonight!. I hope you will enjoy!

This looks amazing! If I can keep my mint from dying (yes, I CAN kill it) until we can get decent peaches around here, I'm going to try this!

This looks like summer in a glass. I wonder if I can do this with some other fruits? apricots maybe? Either way, beautiful photos and simple, refreshing recipe. 🙂

I can never resist a mojito. Adding peach to it makes it that much more irresistible. Ahhh, you will be my downfall yet! 😉

I like your idea here. I think I will make some peach daquiris though because I am just too lazy at the moment to pree the epaches through a sieve and squeeze limes. Yeah I know thats pretty bad.

Oh these could be dangerous! I love a good mojito, and I adore peaches. Hmm, I might just have everything to make this at home!

The 1844 House is a wonderful place to have dinner...the owners Brian and Jenny are so thoughtful and the food is excellent.
