This Peach Thyme Smash is the proper summery cocktail or mocktail. It’s combined with candy grilled peaches, peach preserves, warming bourbon, lemon, and bubbly ginger beer (so as to add a touch of sparkle). It’s the proper drink for heat summer time or early fall evenings. Combine one up, make a mocktail, or create a big batch to serve to household and buddies.

Is there something extra summery than a peachy drink? I’ve had this recipe within the works for months. I knew I’d make this the second the peaches arrived in late July, however I needed to await the proper peaches!

It’s lastly the peak of peach season, and also you guys, I’ve been dying to share this! I normally solely share cocktails on Saturdays. And we’ll most likely begin that again up someday in September or October! However because it’s summer time, I’m reserving drinks for particular Fridays. It’s enjoyable!!

Rising up in Ohio, the peaches had been out of this world by the point mid-July rolled round. Identical to the New York state apples, I’d eat the summer time peaches by the buckets. I really like them a lot.

As a child, we’d simply purchase the peaches and eat them. My mother was by no means into cooking or baking with fruits – all the time chocolate for her. And nobody made do-it-yourself drinks.

So now, I LOVE letting my creativity run wild with summery fruits.
