🥫 Storage instructions
We can store our peach mojitos in the fridge in a sealable container until we want to drink them. This will keep them fresh and taste better than if stored at room temperature or outside in the heat.
🔍 FAQs
Rum is what you will typically see in a mojito. Some great options are Bacardi, Appleton, Havana Club, and Cruzan. But honestly, just pick your favorite, and you’ll be good to go.
If the peach is under-ripe and too hard, let it sit with the sugar for a few minutes until it softens.
Frozen peaches will work, but allow frozen ones to soften at room temperature for a few minutes to make them easier to muddle.
👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- Peel your peaches for easy muddling.
- Use a citrus juicer to juice your lime. This will save your fingers!
- When muddling, be sure to thoroughly crush the mint leaves to release their flavor.
