Blended Comfort

So Southern Comfort is a peach liqueur, and peach is the dominant flavor of this SoCo inspired cocktail that resembles a Hurricane. It's good. Really good. Because bourbon--the actual base of the drink.

But since I had homemade peach syrup, it was fitting to use a sweetener that adds concentrated peach flavor, not just fake peach flavor found in Southern Comfort.

The result is a cool bourbon drink that tastes like summer. Here's the recipe.

• 2 oz. bourbon
• 1 oz. Southern Comfort
• 1/2 oz. dry vermouth
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. bar sugar (1/2 oz. peach syrup used)
• fresh peach slices

Combine all ingredients except peach slices in a blender with ice. Blend until smooth and pour into a chilled Collins glass. Garnish with peach slices.
