it’s all just peachy

I am realizing that if I wait for the “perfect” time to sit down and compose a post {or do anything, for that matter}, that moment may never happen.  Well, here I am – another cocktail post, and another day closer to a finished kitchen!  The kitchen is still unusable, so that means donating surplus vegetables to friends, still washing dishes in the bathroom sink, and striving to make the fastest and easiest-to-clean-up summer treats.  We have done a lot of eating out lately, and I am actually ready for a full-on cleanse of some sort very soon.  I have found that simply selecting a glass, grabbing my muddler, and making a trip to the garden or the store have made some of the most delicious summer cocktail moments of the summer…nice respites in the midst of some serious chaos.



Ingredients for the It’s All Just Peachy Mojito



  • 1 peach, pitted, and sliced (into, maybe, ten pieces)

  • juice from one lime

  • handful of fresh mint leaves

  • 1-2 teaspoons raw sugar

  • 1.5 ounces rum (spiced or white – I used 10 Cane, one of my favorites)

  • club soda



Steps for making the It’s All Just Peachy Mojito



  1. In a mixing tin, muddle the peach slices, lime juice, raw sugar, and mint leaves.

  2. Pour in rum and a few ice cubes.

  3. Shake the tin to incorporate.

  4. Pour into a tall or “collins” glass.

  5. Top with more ice.

  6. Finish with soda water.

  7. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

  8. Sit back, deeply sigh, think of something you’re grateful for, and take a long, slow sip.



  9.
