Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 5 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
2 packed cups fresh basil leaves
1 pound frozen peaches, not thawed
1 cup light rum
1/2 cup orange liqueur
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Ice
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • For the syrup: Boil 1 cup water, sugar and basil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool, about 15 minutes. Strain before using.
