There's something about a mojito that makes me tired. All the muddling and measuring and shopping for ingredients...those Latins love to work. Still, there's nothing quite like that buzz once you get down to the weird, pulpy stuff at the bottom. I haven't tried these yet, but find the picture to be refreshing enough as I sit at my desk and pray for daylight. I really have to start coming to this place drunk*.

Whatcha Need:
3 cups coarsely chopped peeled ripe peaches (about 1 pound)
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
1 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 large limes)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed mint leaves
2 cups white rum
4 cups club soda, chilled
Crushed ice
Iced mint sprigs (optional) <-- only for the homosexuals in the room
Whatcha Do:
1. Place peaches in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Press peach puree through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard solids.
2. Combine rind, lime juice, sugar, and mint in a large pitcher; muddle with the back of a long spoon. Add peach puree and rum to pitcher, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in club soda. Serve over crushed ice. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
