What’s in a Peachy Keen Cocktail?
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Peach nectar – the star of the show.
- Dark rum – adds warmth and depth.
- Grenadine – for a pop of color and just a touch of sweetness.
- Fresh lemon and lime juice – because balance is everything.
- Ginger ale – bubbly, spicy, and perfect to top it all off.
How to Make It
In a cocktail shaker add all the ingredients except the Ginger Ale. Add it to a glass of cracked ice then pour over the ginger ale. Garnish with a citrus twist or a peach slice if you’re feeling fancy. That’s it. No syrup-making, no muddling, no drama—just a beautifully peachy cocktail that tastes like effort without actually requiring any.
When to Serve the Peachy Keen Cocktail
- Brunch with friends (especially if mimosas feel too basic)
- Summer BBQs or backyard hangs
- Any random Tuesday you need to make feel like vacation
Pro Tip:
If you really want to go all in, freeze peach slices and use them in place of ice cubes. They won’t water down your drink and they look pretty in the glass.
