Ingredients

  • 1 large peach – halved, stone removed, and skin on

  • ½ lemon

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 5 leaves fresh mint

  • 2 fluid ounces simple syrup

  • 3 fluid ounces bourbon (such as Bulleit®)

  • ice

  • 4 fluid ounces ginger ale, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. When the grill is hot, close lid and allow to heat, 5 minutes.

  2. Place peach halves and lemon, cut-side down, in sugar until coated. Place on the grill; cook until fruits are soft, about 5 minutes. Cool on a cutting board, about 1 minute. Cut peach into slices with a knife; reserve 2 for garnish.

  3. Place remaining peach, mint leaves, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker; juice lemon into the shaker. Gently muddle with a cocktail muddler. Pour in bourbon and ice, cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled glass; top off with ginger ale, and garnish with grilled peach slices and lemon.

Cook's Note:

The muddled peach may clog your shaker, in which case you should just open the shaker and pour through a fine mesh strainer. For more rustic drinks, pour the contents of the shaker directly into glasses.
