Method
Cocktail
Chill glass (optional)
Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to chill it.
Add 2 oz bourbon, 1 oz peach schnapps, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to come about halfway up the shaker). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass (if you used ice water). Strain the shaken cocktail into the chilled rocks glass over fresh large ice (or serve up without ice in a coupe).
If you prefer a longer, lighter drink, top with about 1 oz club soda and gently stir once to combine.
Garnish & Finish
Garnish the drink with a fresh peach slice or an orange twist hooked on the rim.
Optionally, slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and rest it on top of the drink for a fragrant finish.
Serve immediately.
