Georgia Peach Fizz

Here comes another Fizz variation, this one is a mash up of a Brandy Fizz and a Georgia Peach. I used Bird Dog peach whiskey here instead of peach brandy, which is a fine substitution. Most peach brandy is flavored brandy, not a brandy made from peaches, so the flavor is mostly the same.

Strangely, and very fitting in a culinary sense, creme de bananes is also in the recipe. Which is fine. I love that banana can add richness without tasting like a different fruit. My change is to use MurLarkey banana whiskey--probably their most versatile flavored whiskey. The rest is typical Fizz ingredients, lemon, soda and sugar.

• 2 oz. brandy (Christian Brothers VSOP used)
• 1 oz. peach brandy (Bird Dog Peach Whiskey used)
• 1 tbsp. creme de bananes (MurLarkey banana whiskey used)
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. sugar syrup
• sparkling water
• peach slice

Combine liquors, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and pour into a chilled Collins glass. Top with sparkling water and stir gently. Garnish with the peach slice.
