Pancho’s Peach Ginger Cooler is summer-ready

This summertime drink at Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant in Downtown Summerlin goes down easy in triple-digit temperatures. Fresh peaches dominate the flavor profile, but the slight bites of ginger and mint are key to cutting through what might otherwise be a bit too much sugar.

■ 2 ounces Stoli peach vodka

■ 2-3 ounces soda

■ 1½ ounces sweet and sour

■ 3 peach slices

■ Pinch of mint

■ Peach ginger simple syrup

Into a solution of equal parts organic sugar and water, add two or three peaches and two tablespoons fresh ginger.
