Peach Paradise Cocktail

Submitted by NorthwestGal

"One sip, and you’ll be transported to a tropical beach. This delightful cocktail features a peach base and just the right hint of ginger and a touch of evaporated milk that adds a creamy finish. For the peach puree (step #1), I used half of a 15-ounce can of sliced peaches, and it worked out well."

I enjoyed this drink earlier this week, and now that there is a heatwave coming on, there is another reason to enjoy it. I like the mix of peaches and grenadine.

Very refreshing! And very easy to make.

Interesting taste with the peach and ginger. For us it was a little bit too sweet so next time I'll omit the honey and probably also the grenadine. And maybe add a little bit more rum. Thanks NorthwestGal :) Made for ZWT9

Arrr this was a perfect rum drink for this pirate. A nice tasting tropical drink. I really enjoyed the flavor, it was not too sweet, just perfect for this hot humid day. Flavorful and refreshing. Very creative use of contest ingredients, Good Luck in the contest.

This was quite a yummy drink and made dinner prep much more fun! Followed the recipe exactly, but next time won't be adding the honey and will compensate for the lost calories with more rum. LOL! We couldn't taste the honey and the drink was pretty sweet - so leaving it out shouldn't make a difference in taste. This is definitely a cocktail we'll be making again once we tweak it to our taste. Thanks for coming up with this lovely libation!
