Smashing up some peaches and adding a little booze makes for a damn fine drink! This simple recipe is light enough for summer but has a great whiskey kick.

This recipe uses a mellow blended scotch, but Canadian or Irish whiskey would also work well.

Ingredients

• ½ of a ripe, yellow peach in chunks
• 4 mint leaves
• 1 lemon wedge
• ½ oz Cointreau
• 1 ½ to 2 oz blended scotch whisky

Instructions

Muddle the peach, lemon and Cointreau in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add ice and the scotch, then shake. Strain into old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Add peach slices and mint for garnish.
