- 1/2 cup white rum
- 2 limes, juiced
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup sugar

Flavor Enhancers and Garnish:
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Sparkling water, to top up

Instructions
- Craft a velvety peach puree by blending ripe peaches with sugar and a splash of zesty lemon juice until completely smooth and uniform.
- Transfer the silky mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s precise guidelines, creating a light and airy sorbet with a delicate texture.
- For those without an ice cream maker, pour the puree into a shallow container and freeze, gently stirring every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming and ensure a consistent, creamy consistency.
- In a spacious pitcher, gently crush fresh mint leaves with lime juice and sugar, releasing their aromatic essential oils and creating a vibrant base for the cocktail.
- Introduce rum to the muddled mint mixture, stirring thoroughly to integrate the flavors and allow them to meld together harmoniously.
- Chill the mojito blend in the refrigerator, allowing the ingredients to steep and intensify their refreshing qualities.
- Select elegant glasses and generously scoop the peach sorbet into each, creating a luscious foundation for the drink.
- Slowly cascade the chilled mojito mixture over the sorbet, watching the layers intermingle with a mesmerizing effect.
- Enhance the float with a sparkling water crown and add a few ice cubes to maintain the optimal temperature.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning each glass with delicate mint sprigs, thin lime wedges, and artfully arranged peach slices for a visually stunning and inviting cocktail.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels in both sorbet and mojito mix, depending on the ripeness of your peaches.
- Skip the rum for a refreshing mocktail version that’s family-friendly and perfect for all ages.
- Experiment with alternative frozen bases like coconut sorbet or dairy-free options for those with dietary restrictions.
- Freeze mint leaves in ice cubes for an extra burst of flavor and elegant presentation that elevates the drink’s visual appeal.
