A while ago, I bought myself this fun coffee table book The Art of Mixology! It has a vast lovely collection of cocktails, so much though that I didn’t know where to start! I was preoccupied with cooking and baking at the time, so it sat under my coffee table shelf until recently.

I’ve been attempting to read through Irma Rombauer’s famous Joy of Cooking recently, and it begins with drinks and cocktails. This reinvigorated my desire to make drinks and now I’m all into it! So I hit up my local liquor stores and bought more juice than I ever remember buying before.

With cocktails, there’s a bit of upfront cost that isn’t cheap if you want to get serious with it. Each cocktail in the book is different, sometimes specifying the brand name of the liqueur (ie: Grand Marnier,) other times asking for a very specific flavor like peach vodka, or apple brandy. There’s also aperitifs, mixers, fruit syrups, different types of sugars, and other ingredients to collect.

For my Hennessy’s Great Baking Show episode, I needed a drink that I could quickly make, with all of the ingredients. Because I was baking a fruit cake, I always wanted something fruity.

So here’s the drink I picked! Under the Boardwalk is a deliciously peachy, citrusy delight with flavor and texture. The spritz of sparkling water makes it absolutely scrumptious, and the recipe is simple to make!

Surprisingly, it was printed in the “Bubbles” section of the book, not the Mocktails section, even though it is non-alcoholic. However, adding a dash of rum is just what you need to make it a little boozy.

The slush may be hard to blend at first, but have no fear, because the juxtaposition of slushed ice and sparkling water is exactly what makes it amazing! Here’s how you can make it.

Notes

Make sure to not to overdo the lemon juice as it will make the drink too sour.
This drink is delicious without alcohol, but you could also add a splash of rum to make it an alcoholic drink.
