🍑 Peach Bourbon Smash

Ingredients:

• 2 oz bourbon

• ½ fresh ripe peach, sliced (or 1 oz peach purée)

• 4–6 fresh mint leaves

• ½ oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

• ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)

• Crushed ice

• Mint sprig and peach slice for garnish

Instructions:

1. Muddle the peach slices and mint leaves in a shaker (or sturdy glass) until well mashed and aromatic.

2. Add bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup.

3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 10 seconds.

4. Strain (or dump contents, if you like it rustic) into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice.

5. Garnish with a peach slice and a sprig of mint.

Tips:

• You can use peach nectar or peach preserves in place of fresh peach in a pinch.

• Try adding a splash of club soda on top for a fizzier version.

• For a stronger peach flavor, infuse your bourbon with peaches ahead of time.
