The Southern Peach Whiskey Cocktail is refreshing but is has a very strong whiskey flavor. I would suggest trying this whiskey cocktail initially at full strength and if needed reduce the amount of whiskey. The bite sized pieces of peach add flavor and gives a sweet-savory taste to the bourbon.
This cocktail originated from Morgan Murphy’s book Bourbon & Bacon: The Ultimate Guide to the South’s Favorite Food Groups.
