Variations
I sometimes add strawberries, raspberries, or mango for extra fruity flavor. When I want a slightly tropical version, I mix in a splash of coconut water.
I also enjoy blending the peaches with ice for a frozen mocktail version. For extra citrus flavor, I occasionally add orange juice or lemon slices.
storage/reheating
I prefer serving this mocktail immediately while it is cold and fizzy. If I prepare the peach mixture ahead of time, I store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before adding the sparkling water.
Since this is a cold drink, reheating is not needed.
FAQs

I can use frozen peaches if fresh peaches are not available, though I thaw them slightly before blending or muddling.
What can I use instead of honey?
I sometimes use maple syrup, agave syrup, or simple syrup depending on the flavor I want.
Can I make this mocktail ahead of time?
I can prepare the peach and lime mixture ahead, but I add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink bubbly.
How do I make the drink sweeter?
I simply add more honey or syrup if I want a sweeter flavor.
Can I turn this into a frozen drink?
I blend the ingredients with ice to create a refreshing frozen peach mocktail.
