🧾 What You’ll Need
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, depending on sweetness of your peaches)
- 1 cup ginger beer (non-alcoholic)
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges and peach slices, for garnish (optional)
🔍 Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
Peaches are full of natural sugars and flavor, and blending them releases all their juicy goodness. Ginger beer adds spice and fizz, which lifts the sweetness and balances it with a zingy kick. Lime adds acidity, which keeps the drink bright instead of syrupy. It’s a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy—with no alcohol needed to feel fancy.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Using underripe peaches: The flavor just won’t pop. Make sure they’re soft and fragrant.
- Skipping the lime: It adds brightness that really makes everything come together.
- Pouring ginger beer too early: Mix right before serving so you don’t lose the fizz.
- Blending with ice: Don’t do it! The texture gets watery. Use ice after blending.
🧰 Tools You’ll Need
- Blender
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring spoons
- Cocktail glasses
- Spoon for stirring

🔄 Substitutions & Variations

🕒 Make Ahead Tips
You can blend the peach purée and lime juice a few hours ahead. Just store it in the fridge. Add ginger beer and ice right before serving to keep the fizz fresh.
🥤 How to Make Peach Ginger Fizz Mocktail
Step 1: Blend the peaches
Add peeled and pitted peaches to a blender. Add lime juice and honey (if using). Blend until smooth and silky.
Step 2: Optional – Strain the purée
If you want your drink super smooth, pour the peach mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or cup.
Step 3: Fill glasses with ice
Take two cocktail glasses and fill each about ¾ of the way with ice cubes.
Step 4: Pour the peach mixture
Pour the peach purée evenly into the two glasses over the ice.
Step 5: Top with ginger beer
Carefully pour ginger beer into each glass to fill. Give it a gentle stir.
Step 6: Garnish and serve
Top with a peach slice and a lime wedge if you’d like. Serve immediately while fizzy and cold.
🧊 Leftovers & Storage
This drink doesn’t store well once mixed (the fizz fades), but you can keep the peach purée in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just mix it fresh with ginger beer when ready to serve.
