Ripe summer peaches, a little sugar, and apple cider vinegar are all it takes to make this bright, tangy drinking syrup that tastes like something you'd pay too much for at a craft cocktail bar. The two-day cold-process method lets the fruit slowly release its natural juices into the sugar, building a syrup that's intensely peachy before the vinegar even enters the picture. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no flavor packets, no preservatives, nothing processed — so you know exactly what's going into your glass. That matters more than it sounds, because so many bottled mixers and flavored syrups quietly rely on additives to punch up their taste. Here, the peaches do all the heavy lifting, with an optional hit of fresh ginger adding a gentle warmth if you want it. Stir a couple tablespoons into sparkling water for a refreshing afternoon drink, or use it as a cocktail mixer when you want something a little more festive. Once you have a bottle of this in the fridge, you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.

Combine the diced peaches and sugar in a large glass jar or non-reactive bowl. Use a muddler or fork to crush the peaches lightly, releasing their juice and coating them thoroughly with the sugar.
Stir in the kosher salt and the grated ginger, if using. Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours, stirring once halfway through, until the sugar has fully dissolved and the peaches have released a generous amount of syrupy liquid.
