How to Incorporate Peach in Your Cocktail Drink

There are so many ways for you to add peach to your cocktail drink. You can get inspiration from The Alchemist or try out the following tips in using this fail-proof ingredient:

1. Muddle it

Muddling the peach will help you get as much flavor from it as possible. Try it with the traditional Mint Julep but rather than let the mint become the star of the show, use white peach instead. Add a bit of peach liqueur and you are good to go.

2. Try peach-flavored Vodka

You might think flavored or fruit-infused Vodkas are something to stay away from but there are actually a few brands of Vodka who does flavored Vodka well. Try the Peach Vodka from Ciroc Vodka. It works well with peach cobbler drinks. It is like having dessert but in cocktail form.

3. Infuse it

You do the infusion yourself. Infuse slices of peach in Vodka and use it to make Frisco 49. You can take up the peach flavors even further by adding honey peach syrup and capping it off with some dry sparkling wine.

4. Try peach schnapps

This is a kind of liqueur that is a combination of fruit syrup spirit, spices and many other flavors. You can make an assortment of cocktail drinks with it including White Peach Sangria, Irish Gold and Jolly Rancher.

You can always use the fruit fresh as well. Chop it, slice it, blend it – feel free to experiment and look for various ways to incorporate it in your drinks.
