Whisky Peaches

Whisky Peaches are a delicious two for one recipe! The Whisky Soaked Peaches make a fun cocktail garnish but you also get the most delicious Peach Whiskey for making cocktails. 

I made these Whisky Peaches for Fathers Day for Colt at his request.

The Whisky Soaked Peaches make a great garnish for summer cocktails like Peach Whisky Iced Tea and the Peach Whisky that forms in the jars makes the most delicious summer cocktails. 

Using ripe sweet peaches that are still firm are the secret to the peaches holding their shape during the soak in the whisky.

The peaches will brown slightly the longer they soak in the whisky. I recommend soaking them for at least 48 hours before enjoying the peaches and store well for a few weeks in the fridge. Just make sure the peaches are always covered in the whisky to prevent them from going bad.

We also made Whisky Soaked Cherries when we made the peaches. You'll have to tell me which is your favorite.

Peel, pit, and slice 3-4 Large Ripe but firm peaches. Fill 2 24 ounce Jars with sliced peaches until the fill line.

In a medium sized saucepan whisk together:

• 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/3 cup Water

Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and whisk in:

• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 1/2 cups 80-100 Proof Favorite Whisky or Bourbon

Fill jars with whisky until fill line and peaches are covered.

Additional whisky can be added to top off jars. 

Peaches have to be covered with Whisky to keep preserved.

Seal jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 48 hours before enjoying the Whisky Peaches. It's a great recipe to preserve the summer harvest!
