Fruity tipples for the sunshine
The sun is finally shining, which calls for refreshing tipples – and nothing says summer like the taste of peach. Here Belgravia gastropub The Alfred Tennyson shares the recipes for four of its signature peach cocktails.
Peach Summer Cocktails
Peach & Basil Old Gin Fashioned
Short and sweet with a kick, a twist on a classic
Ingredients
- 50ml Gin (pick one with robust flavours)
- 20ml Peach & Basil Syrup (15ml if you prefer your old fashioned less sweet)
- 4 dashes of Angostura Bitters (not necessary but adds a different level to the drink)
Method
- Fill a whisky glass with ice.
- Add the syrup and then the gin and stir to combine.
- Add a few dashes of bitters and stir a bit more in order to dilute the drink.
- Once the volume of the drink has lifted up slightly it is ready. Don’t stir too long or you’ll water it down.
- Garnish with lemon peel (squeeze it gently into the glass to sprinkle it with citrus oils) and a slice of peach.
