Today I am drinking only lime drinks!

Starting off with a lime martini.

I have another 200+ peaches this year. Last year was peach brandy, which turned out okay. I threw a bunch into a bottle of vodka the other day and it turned out great, and only after ~24 hours.

And the peach salsa, peach bread, peach cobbler, peach daiquiris.... might try something with one of the 'meh' bottles of bourbon.

Delightful. Is this just Tito's and lime juice or you do something else to it?

That's awesome! I love peach trees and I killed two of them. It's the darndest thing.

I think the bourbon idea would be fantastic. Use something lower level but not trash.....I'd suggest a higher alcohol content like Wild Turkey for the peaches.

I have some Russell's Reserve that I don't really care for, but as far as higher proof that I'd rather mix, it would come down to some Wilderness Trail or a Savage & Cooke that came with a Blanton's deal. :hmmm:

What did you say about Russell's Reserve?!?!?! :cuss:

I figured at least one of those would be sacrilegious.

I picked up a bottle as part of a Flaviar subscription gift with higher expectations, but just not into it. I've also heard really good things about Wilderness Trail, but seems too.... new.

But hey, I'm not touching the EJ or Four Roses or Blantons.

You're a bad influence lew. I got a hankering for something citrusy and threw together a whiskey sour. Can't remember the last time I ordered one out and can't say I've ever made one at home.

Maker's isn't my go-to but it was a bday present from the in-laws so I don't feel too bad using it as a mixing bourbon.

That's what great about bourbon/whiskey. Lots of flavor profiles that appeal to different people.

Use the Russell's for the peaches then. That would be good since it IS a good bourbon.



I LOVE whiskey sours, drink tons of them at home, but restaurants add that shitty mix to them.

3oz bourbon
Juice from 1 large lemon or 2 small
Agave Nectar 1-2 tsp
1 Egg White (frothy)

Shake and strain. That's the way to make one next time. The best whiskey to use for a sour is a rye whiskey as it has more bite.
