Print Recipe

Equipment

1 cutting board
1 knife
1 jigger or shot glass
1 Cocktail Shaker
1 rocks glass

Ingredients

1 slice of fresh peach optional garnish
ice crushed and cubed
1 ounce bourbon whiskey
1 ounce peach syrup
½ ounce ginger liqueur
½ ounce lemon juice from about ½ a lemon
fresh mint optional garnish

Instructions

Cut a thin slice of fresh peach and press against the side of rocks glass then pack in crushed ice. Set the glass aside in the freezer or refrigerator.
Fill cocktail shaker halfway with cubed ice then pour in bourbon, peach syrup, ginger liqueur, and lemon juice.
Cover and shake the cocktail vigorously until chilled to the touch (about 10 seconds) then strain into prepared glass.
Garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!

Notes

Making the Peach Syrup

Add two sliced peaches, 1 split vanilla bean, ½ inch of fresh ginger, one cinnamon stick, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, one cup brown sugar, and one cup water to a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Bring syrup to a boil then remove from heat and mash and muddle the peaches to express their juices.
Cool the syrup completely before using. Makes about 14 servings.

Preparation

If you want to make this cocktail ahead of time, shake up the liquid ingredients and stash in the freezer until ready to drink. Just be sure not to add any ice or garnishes until you serve it.

To turn this recipe into peach cobbler shots, just divide the liquid evenly between two shot glasses. Each shot will have about .75 ounce of liquor in it.

Cocktail Tool Substitutions

If you don't have a jigger to measure the liquids with, you can use a standard size shot glass, which holds about the same amount of liquid as the jigger's large end.
