Raspberry Peach Bourbon Smash, the sweet flavors of fruit contrast nicely with the smoky oak flavor of the bourbon in this refreshing cocktail recipe.
First, let’s debunk the myth that bourbon is for cold-weather drinking. Bourbon with bright fruit flavors will become an all-year favorite.
Bourbon Smash
I saw this quote about a bourbon smash and loved it! “Sweet, smoky, and a little wild—just how a good drink should be.” 😊
Craft cocktails are all the rage now. Craft cocktails are cocktails where every element is handmade or tailored specifically to the drink. From house-made syrups, small-batch bitters, to custom ice cubes and glassware every single person has the skill to elevate a simple cocktail to a well-composed signature drink.
As well, I’m a firm believer that any party and dinner can be elevated simply with a fun, festive, and tasty cocktail.
I’m a huge fan of muddled fruit in cocktails. That’s why I like mojitos so much! However, mojitos are a bit too sweet at times and not everyone enjoys them.
However, fruit muddled with bourbon…. now that’s something guys and girls love! Fruit and bourbon together are W O N D E R F U L! Each compliments the other. It’s the perfect refreshing sip for your festive gatherings.
Raspberry Peach Bourbon Smash
- I used Simply Peach fruit drink in my cocktail but you can use any peach flavored drink. Simply Peach is in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
- As well, I used Maker’s Mark bourbon. You can use any bourbon. I do prefer a good, smooth bourbon and for this reason, I recommend Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and Knob Creek. There are more premium bourbons, but these are typically the ones we keep.
