Spicy Peach Bourbon Smash Cocktail Recipes

SPICY PEACH BOURBON SMASH COCKTAIL

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, smash a slice of peach and one to three slices of jalapeno pepper with a heavy drizzle of jalapeno infused honey.
• I make my own jalapeno infused honey using a sous vide technique. Follow this link to learn how to infuse your own honey.
• Fill the shaker 1/2 way with ice and add the 1 1/2 ounces Peach Schnapps, 3 ounces Peach Whiskey and shake. Shake to make sure the honey is diluted and infused into the cocktail.
• In a rocks glass, filled with ice, add a few more slices of jalapeno for garnish along with a slice of fresh peach.
• Strain the peach bourbon smash cocktail over the ice.

BOURBON PEACH SMASH

Steps:

• Bring the sugar, 1/2 cup water and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan. Tear and add in 4 of the mint leaves. Once the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes, turn of the heat. Strain and set aside to cool.
• Slice the peach into slices, reserving 2 for garnish. Add the peaches, the remaining mint, and the lime quarters to a cocktail shaker. Mash with a muddler until broken up and juicy. Add the bourbon and muddle again. Add 2 ounces of the simple syrup, fill the shaker with ice and shake.
• Strain into 2 cups filled with ice. Top off with ginger beer, garnish each with a peach slice, a lime slice and a sprig of mint.

THE DEB (PEACH-BASIL BOURBON SMASH) COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Combine chopped peaches, sugar, water, and 3 sprigs basil in a small pot over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool syrup to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Discard basil sprigs.
• Pour syrup into a Mason jar, seal, and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
• Measure 3 fluid ounces of syrup and peaches into a cocktail shaker; muddle to break peaches up. Add 4 ice cubes, bourbon, and bitters; cover and shake vigorously until ice is mostly melted. Pour into a chilled 8-ounce glass; add remaining 4 ice cubes. Gently stir in sparkling water. Garnish with a peach slice and basil leaf.
