After a Bourbon Series, I think it might be appropriate to show you at least one way I enjoy my bourbon. I especially like that it incorporates the seasonal ingredients of peaches and basil. Don’t be put off by crushing the peach. It only takes a minute and having the smoothness is essential to me. I don’t like chunky drinks. I do like this though! And you will too. Promise.
Basil and Peach Bourbon Fizz (inspired by this recipe)
- 1 peach
- 4-5 basil leaves
- 2-4 ounces Sprite
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce sweet bourbon (think Makers’s Mark or Woodford Reserve)
Pit the peach and press it through a small screened strainer or a Foley mill. Muddle the basil leaves and the peach together. Add the bourbon, simple syrup, and ice. Top with Sprite. Garnish with a basil leaf. Makes one cocktail.

I typically don’t drink bourbon, but this sounds delicious! Will have to try it sometime 🙂
I don’t drink a lot of bourbon either. But it’s nice. And you can always add a half shot if you want just a tad bit of the flavor.
Glad we could inspire you. Now I want another one!
I always look at my new post food eagerly waiting to see what you have been cooking…
This is really good!! Thanks for the recipe!
No problem! I am glad you are inspired. Be sure to let me know if you make it!
I made similar cocktail actually in the summer, but with vodka, and Thai basil since I happened to harvest a lot of it. I even posted about it, just forgot to give the recipe. Now I can just tell people to go to your site! 🙂
Oh that is so sweet! Thank you! I like the idea of vodka and the Thai basil. I don’t grow it currently but I am planning on adding it to the garden. So many great herbs, so little time.
This looks AMAZING!
Thank you! Let me know if you try it and what you think 🙂
