Prepare the peach
Peel the peach, wash it clean, use a paper towel to dry it, cut it into four pieces and then dice it.
Tip: You should choose ripe peaches that feel soft to the touch; avoid bruised fruit or those that feel too hard, as unripe peaches will make it difficult for the final product to develop a fragrant aroma.
-
Mash the peach
Put the peach into the shaker.
Then, use a small pestle or spoon to mash the peach. You don’t need to mash it too finely.
-
Mix the peach mojito
Add 15g of white sugar, 20ml of peach syrup, 10ml of mint syrup, and 5ml of lemon juice along with about 5 – 6 ice cubes into the shaker.
Next, close the lid and shake for about 15 seconds to combine the mixture.
Tip: If you use fresh mint leaves instead of mint syrup, before adding them to the shaker, lightly slap them in your hands a few times to release the essential oils.
-

Pour the mixed peach mixture into a glass, add soda or 7up and stir well to enjoy right away.

What is a Mojito?
- A Mojito is a traditional drink from Cuba, made from a combination of the sourness of lime, the sweetness of sugar or fruit, the aromatic fragrance of mint leaves, and a bit of the spiciness of rum.
- The combination of these seemingly simple ingredients creates a popular cocktail in the summer that captivates many drinkers.
How to choose fresh and delicious peaches
- Delicious peaches have a deep red skin interspersed with greenish-yellow. For fuzzy peaches, the fuzz should be even and not falling off, with a fresh stem. For smooth peaches, avoid choosing overly smooth ones as they may have been handled by many people, bruising the flesh inside.
- When ripe, peaches have a characteristic aroma; a strong fragrance indicates that the peach is ripe, juicy, and has a light sweet-sour taste.
- When holding a peach, it should feel firm, and pressing lightly should not cause any indentation, indicating the peach is crunchy and delicious. When peaches become soft and ripe, they lose their sweet-sour taste and are not enjoyable to eat.

How to choose mint leaves
- You should choose mint plants with fresh leaves, not bruised, wilted or yellowing.
- When smelling mint leaves, a characteristic fragrant aroma with a slight spiciness is ideal.
