This bourbon slush with peach and hot honey is the ultimate cool and spicy treat for summer! It combines frozen peaches, bourbon, bitters, hot honey, basil, a dash of Tajin, and ice blended until smooth and creamy. It's peachy, spicy, and perfect for summer fun!
A Bourbon slush is a thing deal during summer here in Kentucky, and there are so many wonderful flavors available all summer, but my absolute favorite are the peach ones! Peach and bourbon are the perfect pairing; their sweetness perfectly compliments each other. If peaches and bourbon are also a favorite of yours try this, Summer Bourbon Peach Smash, or this Bourbon Peach Old fashioned.

Key Ingredients
- Frozen Peaches: frozen peaches are best for achieving a smooth frozen texture. Fresh peaches will make more of a bourbon peach smoothie.
- Hot Honey: spicy hot honey is the sweetener in this recipe. It adds a nice kick of chili pepper to the sweet peaches. My go-to is Mike's Hot Honey.
- Basil: Fresh basil deepens the flavor of the peaches and adds just a slightly earthy flavor to the cocktail, giving it a sophisticated edge and setting this recipe above all the others.
- Angostura bitters: These bitters contain a mix of warm spices that blend so well with the peaches and add complexity to the cocktail.
- Tajin: Tajin is a blend of mild chili peppers, lime, and sea salt and adds a tiny kick of spice and acid to the slush.

How to make this recipe:
Step 1: Add 1 cup of frozen peaches to a blender.
Step 2: Top with 2 ounces of bourbon, 3 dashes of Angostura bitters, 1 basil leaf, a large dash of Tajin, and ½ ounce of hot honey.
Step 3: Top with 1 ounce water and 1 cup ice.
Step 4: Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Pour into a glass and garnish with more tajin and basil.
Expert Tips:
Suggested Barware: Use a jigger to measure your bourbon and honey accurately.
Add the honey after the other main ingredients but before the ice to ensure it gets fully incorporated and doesn't stick to the blender.
If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit more water.
