Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) frozen sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup (60ml) bourbon
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30ml) honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water
- 1/2 cup (120ml) ice cubes (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Freeze the peaches: Slice fresh peaches thinly and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Mash the peaches: Place frozen peach slices into a medium mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until chunky and slush-like, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add liquids: Pour in bourbon, fresh lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and cold water. Stir gently to combine. Add ice cubes if desired for a frostier slush.
- Chill briefly: Place the bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up the slush.
- Serve: Spoon the slush into glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
If peaches are too hard to mash, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Avoid over-mixing after adding bourbon to prevent melting the slush. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute bourbon with sparkling peach iced tea or sparkling water with peach nectar. Use maple syrup for a paleo-friendly sweetener. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 hours and let soften before serving.
