Peach Bourbon Smash Recipe
This Peach Bourbon Smash gets its deep, rich flavor from fresh peaches that are seared before being muddled to create caramelized natural sugars of the fruit. Combined with the warmth of bourbon, a touch of maple syrup, and a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice, this cocktail is beautifully balanced and incredibly smooth.
