Method
 

  1. Fill a highball glass with fresh ice and set aside to chill.
  2. Place fresh peach slices into a cocktail shaker and muddle thoroughly to release the juices.
  3. Add white rum, peach schnapps, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  4. Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.

Notes

If using particularly sweet seasonal peaches, you may want to reduce the simple syrup to 0.25 oz to maintain a crisp balance.
