Crowd-pleasing muddled ripe peaches with rum and fresh lime juice served with spicy ginger beer.
I could bake them into apeach galetteor cut them up for aneasy salad.
And I never forget about drinks!

Peak-season peaches impart so much flavor into cocktails, it would be sad to overlook them.
Ginger peach rum punch is a refreshing porch sipper.
Ripe peaches are muddled with rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.

Bring it over to a BBQ or to your neighbors for a hang on the stoop.
A silver rum, also known as white rum, is perfect here.
Its bright, clean taste and aroma of almonds and tropical fruit is delicious with peaches.

Keep the pre-made base and ginger beer cold on ice so that your guests can drink at their leisure.
Glassware and Garnishes
I prefer to serve this punch in a 16-ounce mason jar.
It has plenty of room for ice and can accommodate any extra ginger beer you might want to add.
Its a satisfyingly casual way to drink a summer cocktail.
This is a pretty casual drink, so garnishes are not necessary.
However, a dusting of ground nutmeg or a mint leaf would complement the peaches.
Little chunks of peach float to the top, so there is no need for additional fruit.
Store it tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Use a wooden spoon to lightly mash the peaches just enough to release some juices.
Tightly cover and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day ahead of serving.
When ready to serve, pour the mixture and the ginger beer into a large pitcher.
