Equipment

A cocktail shaker is key for mixing.

A muddler helps to mash the peaches and mint.
Don’t forget a strainer to get rid of pulp.
You’ll also need a jigger for measuring your liquids accurately.

Finally, have a serving glass ready.

Ingredients

Gathering your ingredients is simple! Here’s what you’ll need:

Fresh peach slices 🍑
Fresh mint leaves 🌿
2 oz of bourbon or whiskey 🥃
1 oz of lemon juice 🍋
1 oz of simple syrup
Ice cubes

In case you want to tweak the sweetness, play around with the amount of simple syrup. Fresh lemon juice is best, but you can use bottled juice if needed.

Instructions

First, start by adding the peach slices and mint leaves to your cocktail shaker. Muddle them together to release the flavors.

Next, pour in the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add ice to the shaker, pop on the lid, and shake it up!
Once it’s well mixed, Use the strainer to pour the cocktail into your serving glass filled with ice.
For a fun touch, I like to garnish with a peach slice or a sprig of mint.

Notes

For a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup. If you’d like a bit more kick, increase the bourbon amount slightly. Remember, this cocktail is about balancing flavors to your taste, so feel free to experiment. 🍸

I also suggest trying different types of whiskey or bourbon to see what you like best.
