Afternoon Cocktails! Bourbon Peach Smash Recipe

Growing up with brothers, I watched, eavesdropped and even imitated, no not the boys but the girls that hung out with the boys! The guys always wanted to be around the “cool” girls. In my day, those girls drank beer, liked old cars, and liked punk rock music. This is what shaped my teenage years but well let’s be honest here, beer is an acquired taste for females, it wasn’t at the top of my list at that time. Whiskey and Bourbon became my go-to’s, “there ain’t nothing like a girl that likes a good bourbon!” It grew on me, I fell in love! Even as an adult, I still drink bourbon but more grown drinks like this Bourbon Peach Smash Cocktail!

There is something about bourbon that speaks to my soul. These days the grown up in me enjoys the taste rather than the fact that “it’ll get ya drunk in hurry”. I grew up on the Canadian prairies.. don’t judge me lol. I dress up my bourbon with nice simple recipes that enhance the bourbon rather than mask it with pop like my teenage self would do!

One of my favourite summer time drinks is this very delicious and simple Bourbon Peach Smash Cocktail. With a make ahead of time Peach Simple Syrup this refreshing cocktail is perfect for showers, parties, or your everyday patio time! Or for those days when ‘momming’ is especially hard and quiet time is vital!
