PS

Hello all.  It's been a while but I'm back with a new drink.  It's nice, fresh and bold.  I certainly enjoy it and I hope you do too.  It has a short name, 'PS' for peach and sage.  Recipe below.


  •  2 oz bourbon (I used Buffalo Trace)
  • 1/2 oz of St. Germain
  • 1/4 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 4-6 fresh sage leaves 
  • 1/2 a small peach (sliced into cubes)

First, in a cocktail shaker, add the lemon juice, peach and sage and muddle them until the peach is thoroughly smashed.  Next add the rest of the ingredients along with some ice and shake.  Again, shake until your hands freeze or you're too tired to go on.  Next take a sieve and place it over a double old fashioned glass and pour.  You want to make sure all the little debris from the peach and sage are caught in the sieve and don't leak through into the beverage.  After all the liquid has been extracted out of the tumultuous mixture, pick a single small sized sage leaf and place it on top of the drink as garnish.  There you go, the PS.  Hope you all enjoy.


Tasting Notes

Dominant Flavors: Sweet and aromatic

Texture:Crisp

Flavor Intricacy: High

Contrast Flavor: Slight tartness from the Lemon Juice

Finish: Fresh, sweet and sage-y

Recommendation:  Another perfect marriage between rough and girly for those who are not ready for crown on the rocks and are tired of Midori sours.

I hope you all enjoy!  See you soon with that update on the apple bitters.
