Peach Whiskey Smash (Sweet Sadie and Coconut Shrub)


On Friday evening Teresa and I picked up Elli from the mall in Bethesda or Rockville. It was weird but good. We came home, showed Elli our place, relaxed for a bit, and ordered pizza. Elli wanted Hawaiian Pizza.

Saturday, my parents came into town before heading to Rehoboth, Delaware. They took us all to Republic where I drank a Sweet Sadie (Los Altos Blanco Tequila, Aperol, Sweet & Savory syrup, lime juice, rosemary) and a Coconut Shrub. Republic always has shrubs, which always have vinegar and are quite tart. The best I can do at explaining a shrub is that it is kind of like a Pickleback in that the vinegar is quite assertive, but its a cocktail.

Sunday morning I went golfing. It was 100 degrees. It was also great to be outside. After coming home and showering, I took Elli to Walmart. She was impressed.

Today, we went grocery shopping and then to Elli to Cava. I think she liked it alright. After watching Pitch Perfect I decided to put the peaches we bought to use to make a Peach Whiskey Smash. If I make this drink again, I'd probably back off the water and I'd probably try to get Canadian whiskey. That being said, of all the booze I am currently trying to get Teresa to allow me to buy, Canadian whiskey is not that high on the list.

Peach Whiskey Smash
  • 1/2 a peach, cut into quarters
  • 1/4 of a lemon, cut in half
  • 1 ounce of water
  • 1/2 ounce of simple syrup
  • 2 ounces of bourbon (because I don't have Canadian whiskey)
Muddle peaches, lemon, water, and simple syrup; add bourbon; shake; pour into rock glass over ice; garnish with a slice of peach and a lemon twist.
