ABOUT
Bourbon, peaches, and Scotch? Yes please! I spotted this cocktail on Liber & Co and immediately cracked open my bottle of peach syrup. Recipe credit to the great Steve Roennfeldt (@stevethebartender). It’s built like a whiskey sour, but Steve layers in a touch of smoky Islay Scotch that plays beautifully with the peach syrup — think grilled peaches by the campfire. If you love whiskey and summer in the same glass, this one’s a must-shake. Cheers y’all!
