September’s recipe of the month highlights a question we should have asked sooner: why isn’t there jam in more cocktails? 🥂🍑
@serenagwolf’s Jammin’ Smash opens with muddled mint and a squeeze of lemon. Next comes a spoonful of peach jam and the bourbon, shaken hard until the two become one. Pour it over crushed ice and top with soda. It drinks bright and easy, and the sweetness tastes like late summer.
Jammin’ Smash:
6 fresh mint leaves
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
2 tsp peach jam
2 oz bourbon or nonalcoholic spirit
Club soda, to top
Lemon round and mint sprig, to garnish
Gently muddle the mint in a shaker. Add the lemon, jam, and bourbon with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain over crushed ice, top with soda, and garnish.
