it's been a long week; here, have a cocktail

[tielan]

Specifically, a peach-mint whiskey cocktail.



For reasons utterly inexplicable, the whiskey in this cocktail absolutely shines.

Recipe roughly cribbed from Smitten Kitchen's Bourbon Peach Smash. Peaches from my front tree.

That looks glorious. Holy wow.

I am jealous of your peaches! I miss having peach tress, but they don't grow well here and we're only renting anyway, so fruit trees are a poor investment.

[tielan]

I know of people who've grown dwarf trees in pots. I mean, they're large pots and they don't get a huge harvest, but there really isn't anything like growing your own stone fruit.

But, yeah, climate is a big factor, too.

[tielan]

It tastes glorious!

And I've had three today. *coughs*

(Okay, so it's all of one teaspoon of whiskey, but still... :D)

Yum. You do realize one day I will walk up to your garden and demand one of these, yes? :D

[tielan]

And I would be delighted to serve you one! (Although the Rodham Rye might be all gone by then...)
