Key Ingredients:
Bourbon: a sweet or smooth bourbon is perfect for this slush. Use a good medium to top tier bourbon; this is not the time to use a cheap one. My gotos are Woodford Reserve, Angeles Envy, and Buffalo Trace.
Frozen Peaches: frozen peaches are best for achieving a smooth frozen texture. Fresh peaches will make more of a bourbon peach smoothie (which also sounds great!).
Peach Liqueur: a little liqueur adds a more concentrated peach flavor to the cocktail. Using a high-quality peach liqueur ensures the best peach flavor. I used Drillaud for this recipe, but Mathilde is also wonderful!
Ginger Beer: ginger beer adds a little subtle flavor and adds enough liquid to the cocktail so that the cocktail is able to blend smoothly.
Thyme: fresh thyme deepens the flavor of the peaches and gives just a slightly earthy flavor to the cocktail that gives it a sophisticated edge and sets this recipe above all the others.
