Ingredients

To make this refreshing float, you’ll need:

• Peach Sorbet:
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Mojito Mixture:
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

How to Make Peach Sorbet Mojito Float

Making Peach Sorbet:

1. Prepare the Peaches: Blend peaches, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
2. Freeze: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches sorbet consistency. No ice cream maker? No problem! Pour it into a container and freeze, stirring every hour to help it set evenly.

Crafting the Mojito:

1. Muddle the Mint: In a large pitcher, muddle the mint leaves with lime juice and sugar to release the flavors.
2. Mix: Add rum and stir well to combine. Refrigerate to chill.

Assemble the Float:

1. Prepare the Glasses: In each glass, place a scoop of peach sorbet.
2. Pour: Over the sorbet, pour the chilled mojito mixture.
3. Top Up: Add sparkling water as needed and a few ice cubes.
4. Garnish: Decorate with mint sprigs, lime, and peach slices.

Helpful Tips

• Sorbet Consistency: For a smoother sorbet, add a tablespoon of vodka to the peach mixture before freezing. It helps prevent it from freezing too hard.
• Sweetness Balance: Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches and your preference.

Substitutions/Variations

• Alcohol-Free Version: Replace the rum with additional sparkling water or a splash of apple juice for a non-alcoholic version that’s just as refreshing.
• Berry Twist: Substitute peaches with berries for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Storage Instructions

Store the peach sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. The mojito mixture should be consumed within 24 hours for best flavor.
