Peach Thyme Smash. – Half Baked Harvest

This Peach Thyme Smash is the proper summery cocktail or mocktail. It’s combined with candy grilled peaches, peach preserves, warming bourbon, lemon, and bubbly ginger beer (so as to add a touch of sparkle). It’s the proper drink for heat summer time or early fall evenings. Combine one up, make a mocktail, or create a big batch to serve to household and buddies.

Is there something extra summery than a peachy drink? I’ve had this recipe within the works for months. I knew I might make this the second the peaches arrived in late July, however I needed to anticipate the proper peaches!

It’s lastly the peak of peach season, and also you guys, I’ve been dying to share this! I normally solely share cocktails on Saturdays. And we’ll in all probability begin that again up someday in September or October! However because it’s summer time, I’m reserving drinks for particular Fridays. It’s enjoyable!!

Rising up in Ohio, the peaches had been out of this world by the point mid-July rolled round. Similar to the New York state apples, I’d eat the summer time peaches by the buckets. I like them a lot.

As a child, we’d simply purchase the peaches and eat them. My mother was by no means into cooking or baking with fruits – all the time chocolate for her. And nobody made home made drinks.

So now, I LOVE letting my creativity run wild with summery fruits.

Let’s Speak Particulars

Step 1: grill the peaches

This primary step is elective, however when you’ve got the time, grilling the peaches positively provides taste to this drink.

Slice the peach, then flippantly grill the slices till you see gentle grill marks. Grilling the peaches makes them a bit sweeter and much more scrumptious!

Step 2: muddle the drink

Subsequent, muddle the peach slices with recent thyme and lemon juice. Gently smash the peaches right down to launch their yummy juices.

When you don’t love the flavour of thyme, use recent basil. Each are nice!

Step 3: add to your mixer + shake

At this level, you’ll be able to both add the bourbon or make a mocktail utilizing apple cider combined with the tiniest quantity of vanilla.

In fact, bourbon (or whiskey) is the traditional smash alcohol, however in the event you choose to combine a mocktail, I LOVE utilizing apple cider. It’s completely scrumptious. Shake this all as much as get your smash properly combined.

Step 4: high it off

Pour this over ice, then high every drink off with ginger beer. It’s also possible to use seltzer, however ginger beer creates essentially the most scrumptious and refreshing summer time drink. I by some means discover methods so as to add it to most of my cocktails!

SIMPLE however SO GOOD!

If you wish to make this smash much more particular, add garnishes. I like utilizing a dahlia flower, basil leaf, or thyme sprig. Very fairly and stylish.
