That is a nice looking peach
This started out nonalcoholic. It didn’t stay that way.
Peach Bourbon Fizz
- 1 peach
- 4-5 basil leaves
- 2-4 ounces soda water
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce bourbon (optional)
Peel and pit peach. Muddle basil leaves and peach halves in a glass, then dump contents into a strainer set over a measuring cup. Muddle again to get as much juice out as possible. Depending on the size of the peach, you should have about 1/4 to 1/2 cup juice. (You’ll want to adjust the soda water accordingly.) Pour juice, bourbon and simple syrup in a tumbler. Add ice cubes and top with desired amount of soda water. Garnish with a basil leaf.

A great use for my basil. 🙂
Looks like an amazing drink! I had some pretty good drinks with basil so I have to try this one 🙂
Great idea to add the Bourbon !! I was wondering – perhaps you might want to explain what “muddle” means for some of your followers who may not know? Another wonderful recipe Rufus!!
Muddle=mash to a pulp
Fresh from the Orchard flavor. Love it. 🙂
That is a nice looking peach indeed and an even better looking cocktail. I am stealing your idea and making this in a large batch for a dinner party/potluck that I am attending next week. I will of course give you full credit when everyone loves it!
This is exactly what I need. Now.
Make mine a double, please.
And with good reason. 🙂
What a great drink!!
