BOURBON PEACH LEMONADE

This may be the first cocktail I ever had, and it's been a reliable classic since. In a season that's mostly full of gin, vodka, and rum, this is a great summertime bourbon recipe that's perfect for warm weekend nights. 

 ​

Prep time: 20 minutes

Makes 1 cocktail

​

Ingredients: 

​

2 oz bourbon

1 oz peach puree

1 oz lemon juice

3/4-1 oz simple syrup (to taste, I go with 3/4)

Lemon twist for garnish

​

Instructions:

​

1.) To make your simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water on the stove (1/2 a cup of each will be more than enough for this recipe) and heat on medium, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. 

​

2.) Add bourbon, peach puree, simple syrup, and lemon juice to your shaker and fill it with ice. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds or until the shaker feels really cold. Strain over fresh ice in a glass of your choice and garnish with a lemon twist, or even a slice of peach if you're feeling extra special. Enjoy.
