As July winds down, we’re holding on to summer’s sweetness with one of our favorite seasonal stars: the peach. Ripe, juicy, and full of sunshine, peaches capture everything we love about this time of year — and we’re savoring every last bite and sip.

To celebrate, we’re highlighting the iconic peach in both dessert and drink form, with a delicious duo that’s bursting with flavor.

This month’s cake from Tum Tum is a true ode to peach season. It starts with a light, fragrant olive oil sponge, layered with yellow peach compote and finished with a luscious fig leaf oil buttercream.

Tessa of Tum Tum says it best:

“Peaches in mid to late summer are magical. A tree-ripened peach is juicy, sweet, and floral. I love peach with an olive oil sponge or almond chiffon.”

We couldn’t agree more. The cake balances brightness with depth, floral notes with rich creaminess — a perfect match for the July sun.

To complement the tart and forward flavors of the cake, our July signature cocktail is the Peach Ranch Water. Refreshing, slightly fizzy, and subtly sweet, it’s a crisp, clean sipper made for warm evenings and golden hours.
