Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon (I like Michter’s Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon)
- 3 ounces Peach Syrup*
Instructions
Add bourbon, peach syrup and ice to the bar tin and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled glass over fresh ice and garnish with fresh mint. Makes 1 cocktail.
* Peach Syrup
Peel, pit and dice 2 pounds (4 to 6) fresh, ripe peaches. Combine the cut peaches, 1 cup honey, 4 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and gently mash the fruit to an even constancy. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until peaches are fully tender. Remove from heat and let cool. Add 2 tablespoons fresh-pressed lemon juice and pour into a clean glass jar with a lid. If you prefer a finer consistency, pulse in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
