Is it just me or does Peach Season come and go so fast?
Every year I plan to do all the peach things, but here we are at the very end of the summer season with a goodbye. So let’s enjoy it with this delicious and spicy Peach x Ginger Beer Non-Alcoholic Tonic!
Peach x Honey x Thyme Syrup
Before we get into the good stuff, we have first to make the Peach Syrup! This is perfect to make using the not-so-nice-looking peaches!
You’ll need just a few ingredients:
- Peaches
- Fresh Thyme
- Honey
- Water
Let’s Assemble!
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.
Garnish with fresh thyme and peach slices!
