It's finally starting to resemble summer again, so perfect excuse to celebrate with a seasonal cocktail! My basil is growing much better than my strawberries, so I figured let's use what we have!
A couple of fresh ripe peaches, just begging to be eaten, seemed like a perfect pairing, especially when teamed up with bourbon!
Fairly short list of ingredients on this one, so really the most important thing is just to make sure they are fresh so each ingredient can really shine.
Ingredients:
!/4 of a ripe peach, diced
4 basil leaves
Juice from 1/4 of a lemon
3/4 oz of simple syrup
2 oz bourbon
Directions:
In an old fashioned glass or a pint size mason jar like we've used, add the peach, basil, lemon juice, and simple syrup and muddle. Add your bourbon and stir. Top with crushed ice, and give it another stir.

I plan on enjoying this tasty little cocktail out on the deck watching the sunset tonight, and I hope you all do the same!
