Peach Ginger Julep Recipes

SOUTHERN PEACH JULEP

Steps:

• Add some mint leaves to a cocktail shaker and muddle briefly. Add the bourbon, peach puree, Simple Syrup, spiced whisky and lemon juice to the shaker, add large ice and shake vigorously. Add the champagne and tumble roll once to mix the champagne throughout. Strain over fresh ice in a highball glass, garnish with a peach slice and serve.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

LEMONGRASS-GINGER JULEP

Steps:

• Add the mint and ice to a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add the bourbon and the Lemongrass-Ginger Simple Syrup and shake vigorously to combine. Serve on the rocks in a Collins glass. Top with club soda, a squeeze of lime juice and garnish with a sprig of mint.
• Trim the lemongrass stalks so you have the bases only. Bash with the back of a knife (or a meat mallet) so the oils and aroma release more easily.
• Combine the lemongrass, sugar, 2 cups cold water and ginger together in a medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Simmer until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and allow to sit so the lemongrass and ginger steeps in the syrup. Once the syrup is fragrant, 30 to 40 minutes, strain and use.
