Steps:
- Cook peaches in a large pot of boiling water 1 minute, then submerge in ice water. Slip off skins. Slice into 1/4" wedges.
- Bring peaches and 3 cups ginger beer to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until peaches are fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- To assemble floats, divide peaches among tall glasses and pour 1 Tbsp. poaching liquid over each; reserve remaining poaching liquid for another use. Top with 2 scoops of ice cream, then pour remaining 3 cups ginger beer over. Serve with spoons and straws.
- Do Ahead
- Peaches can be poached up to 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
BLUEBERRY PEACH FLOAT
Steps:
- In a saucepan, bring to a boil the sugar, water, and vanilla bean. Once it boils add the frozen peaches and lemon juice and let them sit in the hot syrup 5 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and puree the liquid. Strain into a shallow pan and freeze overnight. Scrape the next day and store in a container in the freezer until ready to serve the floats.
- To serve the floats, place a spoonful of the scraped peach granita in a small juice glass. Top with 6 or so fresh blueberries. Pour tonic water over to cover and serve with a straw, cut the straw shorter, if needed, to fit the glass.
Tips:
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. If your peaches are not ripe, you can place them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days to help them ripen.
- If you don't have any vanilla ice cream, you can use another type of ice cream or even frozen yogurt. However, vanilla ice cream is the traditional choice and it pairs well with the peaches.
- You can also add other toppings to your peach float, such as whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
- If you want to make a non-alcoholic version of this drink, you can simply omit the champagne. You can also use sparkling water or ginger ale instead of champagne.
- Peach floats are a great way to use up leftover peaches. You can also make peach floats ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for later.
Conclusion:
Peach floats are a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for summer. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a special treat or a simple way to cool down, peach floats are a great option. So next time you have some ripe peaches, be sure to try making a peach float!
