On the Rocks: Peachtree Punch.

This recipe for Peachtree Punch came along at just the right time in my reader, considering it’s Peach Week and all. This one looks to be a little on the sweet side, so I’d probably tone it down some to even things out. One question – why are there not more peach-centric cocktails?!

Peachtree Punch
• 1 medium fresh peach, peeled, pitted and quartered
• 1 1/2 ounces silver rum
• 2 ounces orange juice
• 1/4 ounce coconut syrup
• 1/4 ounce peach liqueur
• 1 1/2 cups crushed ice, plus additional ice cubes
• 1 sprig mint, for garnish
• grated nutmeg for garnish

Reserve one of the peach quarters. Combine the remaining three peach quarters, rum, orange juice, coconut syrup, peach liqueur and crushed ice in an electric blender and pulse for a few seconds, just until uniformly combined. Pour into glass and add ice cubes to fill. Garnish with the remaining peach quarter, skewered on a cocktail pick, and the mint sprig. Dust with nutmeg. Serves 1.
