Bourbon Peach Buck
Peachy Bourbon Summer Sipper
Ingredients
- 1/2 fresh peach cut up into cubes
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 6-8 fresh mint leaves
- 2 ounces bourbon
- ginger beer see Notes
- Garnish with mint sprig
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, add peach cubes, lemon juice and mint leaves and muddle until the peach cubes have broken up and mixed with the mint.
- Add bourbon and stir.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Strain into a highball or Collins glass filled with ice. If you’re having trouble straining it due to the pulpy peach, try a Hawthorne strainer instead.
- Top with ginger beer and stir.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint—gently clapped between your palms to release its scent.
Notes
- I recommend good quality ginger beer such as Q (regular or light) or Fever-Tree.
