Ingredients
Basil Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 packed cups fresh basil leaves
- 1 pound frozen peaches, not thawed
- 1 cup light rum
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Ice
- Lime wedges
- Fresh basil sprigs
Directions
For the syrup: Boil 1 cup water, sugar and basil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool, about 15 minutes. Strain before using.
Place the syrup, peaches, rum, liqueur and lime juice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lime wedges and basil sprigs.

Oh, if only I could start every day with one of these! Awesome drink!! Try it with double the lime juice. I love the acidic contrast.
