A customer visited us at a tasting event in Reno, Nevada and was on the hunt for a peach flavored whiskey. Now friends, we all know a juicy sweet peach can be just the thing on a hot summer’s day. But artificial peach flavoring added to an inferior whiskey – not so much.
The customer ended her search and opted for 2 bottles of Two Bitch™ Bourbon with a promise of a fresh peach cocktail recipe from us. This is for you!! Cheers!
Once a freshly made peach bourbon cocktail touches your lips you’ll never want to settle for anything less. The Peach Simple Syrup used in this recipe can be mixed with bourbon and ice for an even simpler version of Miss Scarlett’s Peach Punch.
We think you are going to love this southern cocktail with its western Eureka Gold™ kick! And do speak in your best southern accent while sipping on it … “Eureka! I do declare!”
