Number Of Ingredients 6

2 fresh peaches peeled and diced
1 c granulated sugar
4 c water
3/4 c lemon juice - fresh if you have it
peach slices and lemon zest for garnish
1 oz vodka per serving ** omit for non alcoholic version

Steps:

  • 1. NOTE: This is such a great drink but it does not need to contain the alcohol. Make it alcohol free by omitting the liquor .. you won't be disappointed !
  • 2. Put diced peaches, sugar and water into a 2 qt pot. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved - approximately 10 minutes.
  • 3. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Strain through a sieve, pressing to extract as much juice as possible, saving the extracted juice in a separate container. If you would like to use the pulp you can skip the straining procedure but it will be very thick.
  • 4. Stir lemon juice into the cooked juice - with or without the fruit. Ladle into a tall glass that has been filled with ice. Add vodka and stir.
  • 5. Garnish with fresh peach slices if desired.
