Why you’ll love it

Frozen co*cktail – Frozen co*cktails are so refreshing on a hot summer day. They’re perfect for sipping on the patio, in the pool, or wherever you’re enjoying a lazy summer day.

Sweet, but not too sweet – I’m not a big fan of overly sweet co*cktails, which is why I love this bourbon co*cktail so much. It’s sweet from the peaches and ginger beer and from there you can leave it as is or add additional sugar for sweetness.

The ingredients

Peaches – Use the ripest, sweetest peaches for the best flavor.
