tried to integrate peach into two cocktails:
almond-peach old fashioned
2 oz bourbon
1/4 small peach
1 tsp amaretto
2 dashes angostura bitters
1 dash peach bitters
this didn’t work for me nor did it work for anyone but stuntman b who is a bourbon slut. i tried to patch with a muddled cherry which was an improvement. it added a touch of acid; without it the drink was just a sort of a watery sickly sweet booze bomb. next time i would (a) add more peach (b) chill or freeze the peach first (c) muddle a cherry.
rosemary-peach-lemon drop
2 oz vodka (b is not a gin drinker)
1 oz lemon
1/2 small peach
some rosemary
2 tsp sugar
this was excellent, but a 2″ branch of rosemary, stripped and muddled, didn’t seem to impart much flavor. next time i would use more. the aroma of the muddled peach and rosemary coming out of the shaker was mouthwatering, but that was all it amounted to.
