Make Mine a Double

posted by Hilary on May 11

So with Summer on the horizon and all the lovely herds and Greenery around i thought i would focus on fresh mint for the cocktail number today
Now i do associate mint usual with Pimms or with Mojitos so i thought i would try something a bit different

Ingredients
8 fresh mint leaves, plus 1 fresh mint sprig, to serve
50ml/2fl oz bourbon
15ml/½fl oz crème de pêche
1 tsp sugar syrup
2 scoops ice
1 slice fresh peach, to serve

Method
1. Crush mint leaves(muddle) lightly in teh bottom of your shaker
2. Add the bourbon, crème de pêche, sugar syrup and a scoop of ice. Shake well.
3. Fill a cup with another scoop of ice. Strain the mixture over the ice. Hook the peach slice over the side of the glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
