This Georgia girl knows her peach recipes, and if you have ripe peaches ready to go, you've gotta make this Peach Bourbon Cocktail with Rosemary.
I'm a Georgia girl, so you know I'm super into peaches. My mother-in-law was nice enough to get me a subscription to The Peach Truck, so the kids and I have been eating peaches non-stop for the last 3 weeks and we still have so many more weeks to go (thank goodness!).
This is the perfect cocktail for one of those days (like every day) where the kids are driving you nuts and you need to drown out their whining with an adult beverage. On the porch. Alone. While they're killing each other inside the house.
This Peach Bourbon Cocktail with Rosemary is so refreshing thanks to fresh peaches, is slightly sweetened with a rosemary simple syrup, and is deceivingly strong thanks to your favorite bourbon.

Rosemary Simple Syrup
The part where you have to plan advance to make this is in the rosemary simple syrup. You can definitely substitute regular simple syrup if you already have the regular syrup on hand.
The rosemary simple syrup just adds much more flavor to the drinks and is a surprisingly delicious pairing with the peaches.
How to Make This Cocktail
Start by making the simple syrup, which is just boiling equal parts water and sugar and throwing a few sprigs of rosemary into a saucepan. Once the mixture has boiled, let the mixture cool for a few minutes before straining and placing in the refrigerator until cool (at least one hour).
When your rosemary simple syrup is cooled, process peaches, bourbon, rosemary simple syrup, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Pour the mixture into two cups with ice, garnish with peach slices and rosemary sprigs and...
Voila! You have a deliciously refreshing and fresh peach cocktail!
