Peach Sour

A grown up twist on the peach sour candy of your youth!

This little concoction is something we came up with for a charity event and it has been a house favorite ever since. We wanted it to be reminiscent of peach sour candy from childhood, but with a more grown up aftertaste.

Drink

  • Fill a double rocks glass 2/3 full of ice
  • Add 2 drops of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned Bitters
  • 3/4 oz fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup*
  • 1-1/2 oz Deep Eddy Peach Vodka (it is infused with real peach so be sure to shake the bottle before each use)
  • 1-1/2 oz Fresca
  • 3 oz of Bundaberg Peach Soda (again, contains real peach so be sure to invert the bottle a few times before using)
  • Stir
  • Put 2 drops of Fee Brothers Peach Bitters on top
  • Garnish with a mint sprig

Be sure to ‘open’ the mint garnish either by slapping it between your hands once or giving it a sharp snap against the back of your wrist. Like muddling, this releases some of the oils and intensifies the aroma.

*Simple Syrup

  • Put 1 cup of sugar in a pan
  • Add 1 cup of water
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves
  • Allow to cool
  • Refrigerate with 1/2 oz of regular vodka

The above recipe is what we use when serving to a broad range of people. If someone really likes tart/sour you can increase the lemon juice from 3/4 oz to 1 oz.

Enjoy!
