About the Just Peachy
Porch weather in a tall glass. Garrison Brothers Small Batch is quick-shaken with peach tea syrup, fresh lemon and mint, then stretched with soda water into a sparkling Southern sipper. Sweet tea meets bourbon, with mint on the nose.
Questions, answered
How do I make peach tea syrup?
Brew 1 cup of strong black tea, stir in 1 cup of sugar and one sliced ripe peach, simmer for 5 minutes, let it steep as it cools, then strain. It keeps in the fridge for about a week.
What is a whip shake?
A short, sharp shake with just a little ice. It chills and mixes the drink without over-diluting it before the soda goes in.
Can I make a pitcher?
Yes. One 750 ml bottle of Small Batch makes about 17 drinks. Combine it with 8½ oz each of peach tea syrup and fresh lemon juice and a big handful of mint, chill for an hour, then strain. Pour about 2½ oz over ice per glass and top each with 4 oz of soda water.
