Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the peach puree:

• 1/2 cup peeled and sliced ripe peaches, fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon cold water, plus more if needed

For one drink:

• 2 tablespoons peach puree
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/3 cup chilled sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• 1 peach slice, for garnish
• 1 teaspoon coarse sugar, for the glass rim
• 1 lime wedge, for the glass rim

Directions

Make the peach puree first. Add the peeled peach slices and water to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. The puree should be thick but pourable, like syrup. Add a little more water only if the peaches are not blending easily.

Prepare the glass by rubbing the rim with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into coarse sugar until lightly coated. Fill the glass with ice and set it aside.

In a cocktail shaker or jar with a lid, add 2 tablespoons peach puree, lime juice, agave syrup, and heavy cream. Add a few ice cubes, close the lid, and shake well for 10 to 15 seconds until chilled and creamy.

Strain or pour the mixture into the prepared glass over ice. Top with chilled sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. Stir gently once or twice to combine. Garnish with a peach slice and serve immediately.
