PEACH BOURBON SMASH
Bourbon Smash cocktails are some of my favorite summers cocktails. I have experimented with a wide variety of fruits and berries when making Bourbon Smash recipes. One of my all-time favorites is the Peach Bourbon Smash! Sweet, cool, and refreshing, it’s easy to drink and easy to make. I use peaches in this cocktail, but all stone fruits are excellent with bourbon. Apricots, plums, and nectarines have all been amazing as substitutes for this Bourbon smash, and I mix it up quite a bit. I usually just go by what looks best when selecting the fruits.
