Peach Mojitos

I can attest this recipe is WONDERFUL on a hot summer day while sitting on the patio in the shade!

4-5 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted and rough-chopped
8 limes
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
2 cups light rum
4 cups chilled club soda or sparkling water
ice
additional mint sprigs for garnish

Zest one lime and juice all 8 limes. You'll want about 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Add the peaches, sugar, lime zest and lime juice to the jar of a blender. Blend until very smooth. Using a rubber spatula, press the finished puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Discard any remaining solids.

Add the rum and fresh mint leaves to a large pitcher. Using a wooden spoon or muddler, crush the mint leaves against the bottom and sides of the pitcher to release aromatics before adding the peach puree mixture. Add peach mixture; stir to combine before adding club soda. Serve over ice with a mint sprig for garnish.
