Peach Mojito Cupcakes + Free Printable Liners
Love peaches and mojitos? You’ve come to the right place! These peach mojito cupcakes are to die for!
Peach Mojito Cupcakes
I absolutely love peach season! When I was younger, I lived in South Carolina so peaches were a summer staple. These peach mojito cupcakes are the perfect combination of my love for peaches and mojito cocktails! You must also try my peach mojito drink!
Add in some free printable cupcake liners to jazz up the sweet treats and you’re ready for a party! You could even style up an entire peach-themed summer party (or baby shower!) which I think would be fabulously delish.
I’ve been growing mint each year in my backyard, and I have to say, it’s one of the easiest plants to grow. Not only that, but it makes the perfect garnish for these peach mojito cupcakes. So even if you have a black thumb, plant some mint. Trust me, it’s hard to kill. You’ll find yourself using it for cocktails and food too! Yum!

Does this make 12 cupcakes?
I would like to know this too!
Please how many does this recipe make….I am about to make these for my Sweet As A Georgia Peach baby shower to welcome my new little niece.
So cute! What kind of home printer do you use? Or do you send them out for printing?
I have an HP Laser Printer (from Staples) but you can easily send them to an office store!
The cupcakes were very delicious, however the “supposed to be” buttercream frosting was very thin and running all over the place… making the cupcakes very messy to eat. I would suggest adding about 2-3 tablespoons of heavy or whipping cream to the buttercream frosting. Overall, the cupcakes were very yummy, and I will certainly make them again!
Thanks, Haley! I’ll try that out when I make them next. Typically, I’ve found that adding more liquid (heavy cream) makes frosting looser. Whereas, more powdered sugar (or less liquid) will thicken it. But I’ll try this recipe again and report back as soon as I can! Thanks :)
Did you print on just regular paper or a cardstock?
cardstock! :)
So happy to see you mention SC peaches! I’m from SC and, while I love living in Hawaii, I miss that gratuitous quantity of so fresh peaches each summer. Delicious looking recipe – pinning!
I am making this for a baby shower themed Sweet Georgia Peach for our new little niece….any chance you could tell me how many this recipe makes.. Thanks in advance!
How long does it take to make?
