Ingredients

Instructions

  • In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, muddle the peach slices and basil leaves together until they release their juices and flavors.
  • Add the bourbon, honey syrup, and lemon juice to the shaker, along with a handful of ice.
  • Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and fully combined.
  • Strain the mixture into an old-fashioned glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Optionally, garnish with an additional peach slice or a sprig of basil for extra aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • For an even fresher taste, use ripe, in-season peaches, and consider garnishing with an extra basil leaf for added fragrance.
  • Adjust the sweetness by tweaking the amount of honey syrup to suit your taste.
  • If you prefer a stronger basil flavor, add an extra leaf or two during muddling.
  • Serve in a chilled glass to keep the cocktail cool and refreshing for longer.
