Peach Scotch Smash

Smashing up some peaches and adding a little booze makes for a damn fine drink! This simple recipe is light enough for summer but has a great whiskey kick.

This recipe uses a mellow blended scotch, but Canadian or Irish whiskey would also work well.

Ingredients

  • ½ of a ripe, yellow peach in chunks
  • 4 mint leaves
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • ½ oz Cointreau
  • 1 ½ to 2 oz blended scotch whisky

Instructions

Muddle the peach, lemon and Cointreau in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add ice and the scotch, then shake. Strain into old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Add peach slices and mint for garnish.
