Epicurean Peach Daiquiris

I spent vacation at the beach last year working on this recipe. It only really turns out well if you have fresh, ripe peaches--and I scored some at a quaint farmer's market in Georgia this past weekend. Let summer begin!

3 ripe peaches (medium), washed, pits and stems removed
juice of 1 lime
1 oz. simple syrup
4-6 oz. light rum (I used Cruzan)
1 oz. peach schnapps
1.5 cups ice

Leave the skins on the peaches; they add lovely tiny dark red dapples to the finished product.

Combine all ingredients in a blender.

Blend on a high setting until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the ice is finely and uniformly crushed.

Serve in girly glasses; garnish with a blood orange slice, or a thin (and relatively firm and dry) peach wedge.
