Ingredients
- ½ Peach divided
- 2 tsp Brown Sugar plus more for garnish
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 2 dashes Peach Bitters
- 4-6 oz Soda Water
Instructions
- Cut a ½-inch wedge off the peach and set it aside. Scoop the rest of the peach flesh out of the skin and add into the bottom of a 12-oz glass.
- Add in the brown sugar and muddle until the peach is smashed and juicy, and the sugar is dissolved.
- Top with ice to fill glass about halfway. Then add in the bourbon and peach bitters and stir to combine. Top with soda water as desired, and give another quick stir.
- Sprinkle the peach wedge you have set aside with a little bit of brown sugar, and add it to the side of the glass or on a skewer. Serve immediately.
Notes
- This is a strong drink: If you are not used to drinking bourbon or whiskey, you may find this drink to be stronger than you'd like. It's about the same level of strength as an Old Fashioned or Mint Julep. You can halve the amount of bourbon and replace it with extra soda water to make it a bit weaker, or try adding more brown sugar to taste.
- Bourbon: This drink tastes best with a sweet and syrupy bourbon. I like Maker's Mark, or for something a bit smoother, Woodford Reserve.
