Fresh Peach And Bourbon Sour
- for peach nectar
- 4 large peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- for each cocktail
- 2 ounces bourbon
- 3 tablespoons peach nectar
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 3 dashes bitters
- 1 cup ice
- 1 slice of peach - fresh or from the sugared peaches
- fresh lemon slice
- maraschino cherry
- For the peach simple syrup, peel, pit and slice the peaches. Transfer the peaches to a bowl and add the sugar. Toss to coat and set aside for one hour. Set a strainer over a bowl and pour the peaches into the strainer - to collect the peach simple syrup. Leftover peaches can be used in a fruit crisp or as a topping to ice cream or pound cake or in a homemade peach pie.
- Add the bourbon, simple syrup, lemon juice and bitters to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously until the cocktail is very cold and frothy, about 30 seconds. Pour into a cocktail glass and serve with a fresh peach wedge, slice of lemon and a maraschino cherry.
