Judging by chichi bar menus, the Cuban mojito has come a long way from a sugar cane harvester’s drink made of cane water, unrefined rum, and a handful of mint. By proximity, Floridians have long played with the drink, adding this tropical fruit or that. Here, the sprightly sensation is Georgia’d up with peach nectar.

You will need

Garnish: Peach slice or lime wedge, mint sprig, and sugar cane stick 1 ½ oz Club Soda 1 oz Peach Schnapps 1 ½ oz light Rum 4 to 6 Mint leaves 2 oz Peach Nectar
