Ingredients

Cocktail

  • 6 mint leaves
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 2 Grilled Peach Slices
  • 2½ oz bourbon
  • mint sprig for garnish

Grilled Peaches

  • 6 peaches
  • 1 oz olive oil

Instructions
 

Cocktail

  • In a julep cup or rocks glass, muddle the mint and simple syrup. Add the grilled peach slices, bourbon and crushed ice, then garnish with a mint sprig. Serve with a cobbler spoon (a metal straw with a small round spoon attached, sometimes called a spoon straw).

Grilled Peaches

  • Prepare the grill for direct grilling. Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Brush the cut side with olive oil and grill cut-side down, over medium heat, for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the peaches and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more, or until they have softened and the skin has charred.
