White Peach Mojito

August 19, 2015 By Lokness 15 Comments

White Peach Mojito 6 | The Missing Lokness

If you may have noticed, I have been posting a few more cocktail or drink recipes this year. You are absolutely correct! It is all thanks to our bar cabinet.

Before we moved, our place was tiny (425 square feet). Don’t talk about liquor bottles. We barely have enough space to store all my pots, pans, kitchen tools and gadgets. At the most, we had a bottle of gin (Bryan’s favorite) and a bottle of golden rum (to make tiramisu). That was it, our old “bar”.

When we were shopping for furniture for our condo, we were both certain that we needed a bar cabinet. It was one of the best decisions ever! Once you start building your bar, you realize that there are so many things you need and want. White rum, golden rum, vodka, whiskey, Japanese whiskey, gins, tequila, shochu, mixer… The list keeps growing and growing.

Then I realize Bryan is obsessed with glassware. When we go to Crate and Barrel, I would be walking all around and looking at different things. But Bryan? He is always in the glassware section. He likes the short one, tall one, fat one… Pretty much any one. If he could, he would bring them all home. Lucky that our cabinet provides a good amount of spaces for glassware. But I can tell you that they are all filled now. I hope Bryan is not buying any more.

But yeah, because of the bar cabinet, we are able to expand our bar and have easy access to the liquor. That is the reason why I have been able to make more drinks and share more drink recipes.

Now, who is ready for a cocktail?

Peaches are at their best right now. Whenever I walk by them in the grocery store, I couldn’t walk away. I must return to either grab a few or breathe in all that sweet fragrant. This cocktail is a great way to celebrate peaches. As Bryan said, this cocktail is peachy. The flavors of the sweet white peach came through strongly. With the fresh mint and lemon juice, the drink is refreshing and aromatic. It would make a great party cocktail or a nice drink for yourself to enjoy the rest of the summer.

White Peach Mojito

1 serving

Ingredients:

–   ¾ ripe white peach (cut into cubes)

–   4 mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

–   1½ tablespoon simple syrup

–   2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

–   1½ ounce white rum

–   6 ice cubes

–   ½ cup club soda

Simple Syrup:

–   ¼ cup sugar

–   ¼ cup water

Directions:

  1. To make simple syrup, in a small pot, add sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  2. In a serving glass, crush the mint leaves with a muddler.
  3. In a blender, blend the peaches until smooth. Pour the puree into the serving glass. Add simple syrup, lemon juice and white rum. Add the ice and soda. Stir to mix. Garnish with extra mint leaves. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. You can use yellow peach, but you may want to adjust the sweetness, as yellow peach is slightly more tart.

    Ha! We got a bar cabinet from Crate and Barrel a couple of years ago, and our drinking increased for a time too. I just loved coming home after a long a day and pouring myself a drink – so Mad Men 😉

    I love this summery cocktail! It’s just in time for the weekend and my brother is visiting, so I’ll have to make some drinks to entertain. Hope you have a great weekend!

      Enjoy the cocktail and have a great time with your brother!

    That bar cabinet sounds fab (so grown up! ; ). And C&B does have an extensive glassware collection…I can see the appeal! Great job on this peach mojito…fun and very tasty, I know.

    We just got a bottle of white rum and I have some over ripen peach in my fridge. This is perfect drink to cook this evening!
    I totally share the experience of tight space. We haven’t got a bar cabinet yet, but we do have a booze corner at home. I really need to learn more drink recipes. We drunk wine too often and got lazy! lol

      You need a bar cabinet, Maggie! Great way to organize the booze bottles, bar accessories and glasses. Once everything is organized and easy to access, you will want to make more cocktails. 😉 Enjoy a great weekend!

When planning the trip to Denver, I realized Safta When planning the trip to Denver, I realized Safta @eatwithsafta is opened by the same chef who started Shaya in New Orleans. We went to Shaya back in 2019. Fantastic food & very memorable! So we knew we had to go to Safta. 

Menu is very similar to Shaya. We ordered a bunch of stuffs & we enjoyed every single thing. That really doesn’t happen often. The food was perfectly balanced. Nothing felt heavy or overwhelming. That braised lamb shank fell off the bone w/ that creamy labneh & sweet pomegranate sauce. The charred cabbage was also phenomenal. Sweet & charred. Semifreddo was just the ending we hope for. Iced cold w/ strong coffee granita & rich chocolate. 

We came w/ really high expectations, & we were very happy at the end of the meal. If you’re visiting Denver, do not think twice, you need to eat at Safta!

1) Hallet Peak & Dream Lake at the Rocky Mountain
2) Selfie
3) We got attacked by mosquitoes. Whenever we posed for pictures, the mosquitoes immediately attacked. If you look closely, you can see a mosquito near Bryan’s face. 🦟

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭
