Don’t be deceived: Combining peach and yogurt here does not make this into a smoothie. Instead, this lightly tangy summer peach cocktail is tart, herbal, and refreshing. You’ll muddle the peaches (or nectarines) in just a little liquid to break down the fruit without splashing—and to make sure all the honey is properly mixed in, since you aren’t fussing with a syrup here. Then add the basil and give it just a few taps—you’re looking to bring out its flavors and fresh aroma, not to pulverize it. Craving sunshine in the off-season? This gin drink works with thawed frozen fruit as well.
