​I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. Brown liquor in the summer time? Bourbon tasting, to me, is a fall and winter sport. Summer is for the blonde spirits – I’m a gin girl myself, but also on friendly terms with vodka and tequila.
​
But once fresh peaches enter the conversation – grilled, no less – it’s definitely summertime and the livin’ is about to get very easy indeed. 
Similar to a mint julep but the peachy sweetness takes it to another place. A summer place!

Grilled Peach Bourbon Smash
Recipe by Ilise Goldberg, inspired by The Kitchn
Makes one cocktail

Ingredients:
  • 2 oz Makers Mark Bourbon
  • 1.5 oz Grilled Peach Simple Syrup
  • 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
  • Small Handful of Mint Leaves & mint for garnish
  • 2-3 dashes Bitters
 
Directions:
  • Combine the peach simple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker. Add mint and muddle.
  • Add bourbon and ice; shake until chilled.
  • Put ice in a rocks glass, pour drink, and add 2-3 dashes of bitters.
  • Garnish with a slice of peach and a sprig of mint.
 
Grilled Peach Simple Syrup:
  • 5 Peaches, halved
  • 1 Cup of Water
  • ½ Cup of Sugar
  • Grill the peach halves until soft (Optional: The simple syrup can be made with fresh peaches.)
  • Combine the water and sugar in a pan over high heat until the sugar dissolves. 
  • Add the peach chunks and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Once the fruit is nice and tender use a potato masher and mash the fruit to release as much juice as possible. 
  • Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  • Strain the syrup into a container, and store for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. 
  • If making far in advance the simple syrup freezes well. 
  • Your yield may vary, but we got approx.  24 oz of simple syrup with this recipe.
