A last taste of summer, this refreshing peach fizz can be served with or without alcohol. You can make the fruity base ahead and use as needed.

Method

  1. Remove stones from peaches and cut into cubes.
  2. Bash the lemongrass with a rolling pin to break the stalks a little. Place both in a saucepan with the lemon juice, grated ginger and honey.
  3. Cook on medium heat until peaches are soft, around 20 mins.
  4. Cool the peaches down, remove the lemongrass and transfer to a blender. Whizz mixture until you have a smooth purée. Cool down completely in the fridge.
  5. When ready to serve, transfer the mixture into a jug and add 1.25 – 1.5L of sparkling water. Mix well and add a few mint leaves to taste. Add a little more honey if needed.
  6. Serve very cold over ice.
