A sophisticated take on a blended fruit daiquiri, made with naturally sweet ripe peaches, flavored with white pepper and green tea.
Why this recipe works:
- Chilling the mixture overnight ensures your daiquiri will not dilute when it's combined with the ice, and gives a slush that better holds its shape.
Note: if you double the recipe, blend it in two batches to avoid overflowing your blender.
