Atlanta Peach Smash mocktail in a rocks glass with fresh peach slices, crushed ice, and mint garnish

Ingredients

1 large ripe peach, pitted and sliced (about 3/4 cup)
6-8 fresh mint leaves
1 oz honey syrup (1:1 honey and warm water)
1 oz fresh lemon juice
3 oz sparkling water
Crushed ice
Peach wedge and mint sprig, for garnish

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, add the peach slices and mint leaves.
Muddle firmly until the peaches are completely broken down and the mint is fragrant.
Add the honey syrup and lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake vigorously for 15 seconds — you want this well-chilled and well-mixed.
Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a rocks glass packed with crushed ice.
Top with sparkling water and stir gently once.
Garnish with a fresh peach wedge on the rim and a slapped mint sprig.
Serve immediately — the color is most vibrant when fresh.
