Ingredients

Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, lemon juice, and jalapeño simple syrup.

- Add the leaves from one sprig of fresh thyme into the shaker.
- Shake the mixture vigorously to ensure all the ingredients are well infused.
- Fill a lowball glass with fresh ice and strain the bourbon mixture into the glass.

Notes
Pro Tips
- For a spicier cocktail, adjust the amount of jalapeño simple syrup to your liking or add a slice of fresh jalapeño to the shaker before mixing.
- Make sure to use a ripe peach for the best flavor and juiciness.
- If you prefer a stronger thyme flavor, muddle the thyme leaves in the shaker before adding the other ingredients.
- For an extra cooling effect, chill the glass before serving the cocktail.
