Bourbon Peach Smash

As the hot summer heat settles in around us, it’s time to find a fruity, sweet, and refreshing bourbon cocktail recipe for your sun-filled days. The Bowman Brothers Bourbon Peach Smash is icy, invigorating, and a great way to highlight our favorite summer seasonal fruit. The natural sweetness of the peach complements the tang of the mint you won’t be able to make just one. Hint: leave the skin on the peach to add a rich texture to this oh-so peachy cocktail.
