Peach Mocktail with Thyme and Spicy Ginger Beer

Peach season is arguably the best season! This is the perfect time of the year to make my peach and thyme mocktail with spicy ginger beer. I love a good peach mocktail, and this one is amazing. The sweetness of the peaches, the earthiness of the thyme, and the spiciness of the ginger beer are an incredible combination.

This is one of my favorite summertime mocktails especially since I live in an area where we get amazing fresh peaches. The best part is once you make the peach syrup you can make this mocktail whenever your heart desires it.

Peach and Thyme with Honey Syrup

First, we need to make the peach and thyme syrup with honey. I love the simple syrup, it's so easy to make and tastes incredible, I'm obsessed.

You'll need just a few ingredients:

• Peaches
• Fresh Thyme
• Honey
• Water

You can also use this syrup to make other summer mocktails or even try it in an iced matcha.

Let's Assemble our Peach Mocktail

Once you have the syrup made and cooled you can assemble your drinks! Depending on your spice level choose the Ginger Beer that will be right for you. If you are a no-go on spice, opt for a Light Spice Ginger Beer or a Ginger Ale. Fevertree has some great options for ginger beers.

To assemble add ice, and peach syrup, pour in ginger beer, and top the rest with tonic water. Stir and garnish with fresh thyme and peach slices.
