Celebrate in style with this holiday beverage. Peach preserves (like you would spread on biscuits) are the secret ingredients in this Peach Bourbon Sours. Seedless blackberry, apricot, or ginger preserves may be substituted. I found this recipe in Southern Living magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting this for safe keeping.
