The Peachy Keen is a layered, refreshing cocktail—peach jam amplifies the bourbon’s sweetness while añejo tequila adds an earthy depth.
I’m a big fan of peaches, so I’m delighted to share this peach-forward cocktail. It’s ideal for warm weather, but genuinely enjoyable any time of year. If peach jam isn’t available, apricot jam makes a lovely alternative that keeps the same bright fruit character.
This drink balances complementary flavors: the jam’s fruitiness and sweetness, the bourbon’s subtle smoke, and the tequila’s warm, earthy notes. Lime juice brings a refreshing tartness, and a touch of light agave syrup smooths the finish. Guests often rave about the result.
If you want a refreshing cocktail that still feels sophisticated and layered, the Peachy Keen delivers every time.
Cheers & enjoy!
xoxo,
Peachy Keen
