Method
Prepare fruit & herbs
- 1
Muddle
In a cocktail shaker or sturdy mixing glass, add the fresh peach slices, basil leaves (reserve a small sprig for garnish), and mint leaves. Using a muddler, gently press and twist 6–8 times to release juices and oils—avoid pulverizing the herbs to prevent bitterness.
Build the cocktail
- 2
Add the bourbon, peach liqueur, fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker with the muddled fruit and herbs.
- 3
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill quickly) and cap it. Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold.
Finish & serve
- 4
Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a rocks glass over fresh ice (or into a chilled coupe if you prefer no ice). Double-straining removes small fruit and herb bits for a smoother drink.
- 5
Top gently with 2 oz club soda for a light effervescence. Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters on top; they will float and add aromatic complexity.
- 6
Garnish with the reserved basil sprig and a thin peach slice perched on the glass. Give the basil a gentle clap between your palms before garnishing to wake the oils.
- 7
Serve immediately.
