A Peach for the Porch
Is there a better combo than a peach, a porch, and some port-finish bourbon? In this whiskey sour riff, an easy vanilla-honey syrup compliments the flavor of the whiskey and peach nectar.
Ingredients
Vanilla-Honey Syrup
Cocktail
Preparation
Step 1
To make the Vanilla-Honey Syrup, add honey and ¾ cup water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until honey is dissolved. Turn off heat, stir in vanilla bean or extract. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer (including vanilla bean if using) to a clean airtight container. Let chill overnight before using. Syrup will keep, refrigerated, for 2 weeks.
Step 2
To make the cocktail, add bourbon, peach nectar, lemon juice, and Vanilla-Honey Syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with lemon wheel or frozen peach slice.
