The Bourbon Peach Smash is an exciting twist on the classic cocktail, introducing ripe peach to the traditional blend of whiskey, lemon, and mint.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of Old Forester bourbon whiskey Old Forrester
- 1 ripe peach, pitted and quartered
- 1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce of simple syrup
- 4-6 fresh mint leaves
- Crushed ice
