Peach Bourbon Thyme Smash

6 Junby Amy1

Peach Bourbon Thyme Smash is the perfect summer cocktail.  Packed with fresh peach juice, bourbon, thyme and jalapeno simple syrup.

Peach Bourbon Thyme Smash Cocktail Recipe made with fresh peaches and jalapeno simple syrup | ahealthylifeforme.comThe first day of summer is right around the corner along with Father’s Day.  Oh good lord, Father’s Day, I am always at a loss.  Even though my hubby is not my father, I feel the man gave me two of the most precious things in my life, so I should give him a gift to say “hey thanks”.  But let me just say the man is the WORST person to buy for, you can ask his children and pretty much anyone who has ever had to buy him a gift.  He will give you to hints, he just says “I will let you know what I want” up until the day the gift giving needs to take place, which means you buy him something he really doesn’t want.  Any ideas you guys can throw my way would be GREATLY appreciated, probably more by me than him, but GREATLY appreciated none the less.

I love the beginning of summer because of the explosion of fresh local produce that becomes available.

I always enjoy when I show up at the market and I am greeted with baskets of fresh local peaches.  You can actually smell their peachy smell as you walk by, they are just that fresh.

Really is there anything better than the smell of fresh grown peaches?  I always feel a little guilty eating a summer peache because they are so luxuriously sweet, it seems like I am being a glutton, but they are really so good for you, so I munch on.

Since you know I am a peach lover, you know I bought a big ol’ basket of peaches and I have been finding all kinds of ways to use them in my recipes.  One way was in this Peach Bourbon Thyme Smash Cocktail.  Don’t be fooled by this cocktails pretty face, cause yes it is pretty, but it is also delicious with a kick.

I really enjoy creating summer fresh cocktails, mixing and matching to come up with something delightful to drink and easy to make.  This cocktail will soon become a favorite to enjoy throughout the summer with family and friends, preferably by the water if you can.

What is your favorite fruit to enjoy in a cocktail?
