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!

A frosty, peachy adult beverage? Now that's what I call a perfect summer refreshment!
I'm in cold winter and still I'm can enjoy it!! Excellent photos also 🙂

MMMM I could use one of those right now!
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!
OOOH Beautiful. I'll trade you a Pineapple Martini for a Peach Mojito!
Oh this looks fantastic!
Yum yum!! Must go down good on those hot nights!!
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. 🙂
over 100 degrees here today..boy do i need one of these:)
This sounds like my kind of cocktail!!!
Mmmm this is calling me out to the patio and under the trees. Luscious, refreshing, zingy drink!
This would be very refreshing on a hot summer day Shelby!!
Woot woot … I love this. So cool and so simple! Gotta try this before the peach season disappears!
the way it's been so hot here lately, I would love to have a glass of that refreshing drink!
I have a double! With this heat wave the Peach Mojito is right up my alley!
Another cooling libation treat to chill the sweat on my brow!
Bon appetit!
=:~)
What a beautiful summer drink! There are some great white peaches out right now, I think they would be wonderful in this.
Have a fab weekend.
*kisses* HH
I can never resist a mojito. Adding peach to it makes it that much more irresistible. Ahhh, you will be my downfall yet! 😉
I can picture myself enjoying one of these on our patio on a hot day.
I would love a glass right now!
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.
This could make my day right about now. The perfect summer drink.
Yum! I love peach too. I have always wanted to go to the 1844 house.
Oh what a perfect summer drink 🙂
I absolutely love mojitos and have never tried a peach variation. GREAT summer recipe! 🙂
Oh, wow. That sounds fabulous! I definitely need to pick up some extra peaches and some mint when I go shopping this week. =)
You know… I love mojitos… I should have planted mint this year! This looks like a perfect flavor combination.
This drink sounds amazing! My husband and I both adore a good mojito. Yum!
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.
