Categories     beverage

Time 5m

Yield 2 cocktails

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 to 10 fresh mint leaves
1/2 peach, sliced, or 4 slices frozen peaches, thawed
2 ounces sweet tea vodka
1 ounce bourbon
6 ounces club soda

Steps:

  • Divide the mint leaves and peach slices between two Collins glasses and muddle them together. Fill each glass with ice, 1 ounce of the vodka, 1/2 ounce of the bourbon and 3 ounces of the club soda. Stir until cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh peaches, you can use frozen or canned peaches, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of boiling water. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
  • If you don't have bourbon, you can use another type of whiskey, such as rye whiskey or Irish whiskey. You can also use brandy or rum.
  • If you don't have mint leaves, you can use another type of herb, such as basil or thyme.
  • Serve the juleps immediately after making them. The ice will melt and dilute the drink if you let them sit for too long.

Conclusion:

The Peach Julep is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are hosting a party or just relaxing at home, the Peach Julep is sure to be a hit.
