Description
A delightful twist on a whisky sour (minus the foam!) using peach simple syrup, lemon juice, bourbon and rosemary.
Ingredients
Peach Simple Syrup:
- 1/3 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 fresh peach, chopped (leave the skin on for a pretty pink colour)
The Cocktail:
- 2 shots (about 6 tbsp) bourbon or whisky
- 6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 6 tbsp peach simple syrup
- 2 sprigs of rosemary (optional, if you don’t have any!)
- 1 peach, sliced for garnish
- 6 ice cubes
Instructions
Peach Simple Syrup:
- In a small pot on medium heat, add all peach syrup ingredients and stir to combine. Increase heat and bring to a simmer, gently mashing the peaches as you go. They will soften the longer it simmers.
- Reduce heat to medium/high and let simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a small jar or container. Set aside. If not using right away or if you have extras, cover with a lid and store in the fridge up to a week.
The Cocktail:
- In a cocktail shaker or large mason jar, add bourbon, lemon juice, syrup and ice. Add lid and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.
- Add some peach slices to each glass, and divide the cocktail between the glasses. Add the ice too if you wish. Top each with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy responsibly!
