To make a Carribean Peach Mojito:

In an empty Collins Glass, add 2 fresh Mint Sprigs, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and a splash of Soda Water. Squeeze two Lime Wedges into the mixture and drop the lime wedges into the glass. "Muddle" all of the above ingredients (see bartender's note below). Add ice to the glass. Then, pour 1/2 oz Coconut Rum, 1/2 oz Pineapple Rum, 1/2 oz Meyer's Dark Rum, and 1/2 oz Peach Schnapps into the glass. Fill the remainder of the glass with Soda Water. Using a mixing tin, roll (or gently shake) the drink and pour back into the Collins Glass. Garnish with a fresh Peach Slice. Serve.

Bartender's note: "Muddling" is basically mashing the ingredients together using a muddle stick. A muddle stick can be purchased separately. However, my preference is to purchase a bar spoon that has a muddle stick on the opposite end.
