Honey Peach Summer Spritzer

February 15, 2018

When peaches are at their ripest in early August, savor their peak juiciness in this refreshing cocktail! Made with real, raw honey and ginger, this recipe is a real thirst-quencher and makes about 8 drinks.

2 ripe peaches

2 T minced ginger

1 C all-purpose real raw honey

1 C water

2 liters club soda

15 fresh mint leaves

1. In a small saucepan, heat the water and ginger and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the honey until dissolved. Let steep and cool for about 30 minutes, then strain the liquid through a piece into a bowl.
2. Slice the ripe peaches and distribute among 8 tall glasses. Feel free to slightly muddle the peaches with a wooden spoon to release more of their sweet juices. Add ice as desired.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of the honey-ginger syrup into each glass and top with club soda. Stir and serve garnished with mint leaves. For a stronger option, add a splash of good quality dark rum.
