Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) frozen peaches, sliced
- 2 ounces (60 ml) bourbon
- 3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme, plus extra for garnish
- 1 ounce (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce (15 ml) simple syrup
- 1 cup (120g) ice cubes
- Club soda or sparkling water, for topping off (optional)
Instructions
- Strip the leaves from 3 sprigs of fresh thyme. Set aside a small sprig for garnish.
- In a blender, combine frozen peaches, bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, thyme leaves, and ice cubes. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth but still slushy.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if too tart. Add a splash of water or club soda if too thick.
- Pour the mixture into chilled rocks glasses. Top with a splash of club soda or sparkling water if desired.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and a thin peach slice on the rim.
Notes
Do not over-blend to maintain the slushy texture. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Frozen peaches are preferred for icy texture; if using fresh peaches, add more ice. Prepare peach and bourbon mix without ice up to 24 hours ahead and blend with ice before serving. Adjust sweetness to taste. Garnish with fresh thyme and peach slice for presentation.
