A warming winter combination of fruit and spice, the Just Peachy Whisky Cocktail is enhanced by a smoking cinnamon quill for added aroma and spice.
The Just Peachy whisky cocktail is a take on the old fashioned consisting mainly of whisky with peach liqueur and bitters. For the choice of whisky, it can be any entry type single malt with a fruity and spicy character, Irish Whiskey or a blended malt with orchard fruit, honey sweetness and a hint of spice.
The cocktail is simple, classic and hits the right balance of fruit and spice. A smoking cinnamon quill is used to smoke the glass, imparting a smoky aroma and warm spice notes which complement the peach and fruity flavours of the whisky. The cinnamon also acts as a garnish and can be used to stir the drink.
