A simple, refreshing fruity drink—perfect for a late summer afternoon. Works great with slightly overripe kudamono, so clean out your fruit basket today.

Banana Peach Fruity Drink
1 banana, peeled and broken into chunks
1 peach, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
1.5 cups apple juice
6 ice cubes
1 tot of rum (optional)

Put all the ingredients in the blender and puree. Adjust consistency with water, juice or more rum as desired. Pour over ice. Serves two.

This juice oxidizes (the banana turns brown), so it should be prepared just before serving.
