- 3 to 4 ice cubes
- Mint leaves
- Peach slices for garnish

How to serve it

How to store it
This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately for optimal flavor and freshness. If you have any leftovers, the ginger beer may lose its fizz, so it’s not recommended to store pre-mixed drinks. Instead, prepare individual servings as needed.
Helpful tips
- Ensure your peach is ripe for the best flavor—look for one that gently gives when you press it.
- You can adjust the amount of ginger beer based on your taste preference; a little less makes it a bit stronger.
- Muddling the peach slices lightly will release their juices without turning them into mush.
Optional variations
For a twist, you can try adding a splash of peach schnapps for added sweetness or a dash of bitters for extra complexity.
