Grilled Peach Bourbon-ade
Summer 2018
This summery spin on a Whisky Sour features charred peaches, maple syrup and good old American whiskey. Since muddled drinks tend to block the holes of most cocktail shakers, switch to a Hawthorne strainer for the best results. Do not be tempted to fine-strain this drink—it will filter out too much of the good stuff.
Makes 1 drink
½ ripe peach
Vegetable oil for brushing
¾ oz pure maple syrup
2 oz bourbon
1 oz strained fresh lemon juice
Lemon twist
1. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat.
2. Clean grill (if using) and lightly brush cut side of peach with vegetable oil. Grill peach cut-side down until nicely charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill and cool completely. Cut into 4 wedges.
3. In a cocktail shaker, muddle peaches and maple syrup. Add bourbon and lemon juice. Fill three-quarters with ice. Shake until ice cold, about 12 seconds. Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice. Squeeze lemon twist over surface of drink and drop into drink.
