Dale’s Julep

Dale's Julep cocktail with fresh mint, fresh peach, peach liqueur, and bourbon

The “Dale” in Dale’s Julep is the legend himself: Craft of the Cocktail author and mixological Renaissance man Dale DeGroff.

DeGroff’s simple julep riff brings fresh peach (or nectarine) to the party, amped up with peach liqueur playing the part of the sweetener. A good peach liqueur is essential here; it should be good enough that you’re willing to sip it straight.

The original recipe is a little vague on how thick the peach slices should be. We love the peach + bourbon combo, so we go with massive half-inch-thick wedges; DeGroff probably slices his a bit thinner.

Ingredients

Instructions

Place the mint, peach slices, and peach liqueur in the bottom of a mixing glass. Muddle to release the peach juices and the oil from the mint. Add the bourbon (or rye) and stir briefly, then strain into a short glass filled with crushed ice. Stir until chilled. Top up with more crushed ice and garnish with freshly-slapped mint sprigs and another slice of peach.

Great drinks-great app

Great cocktail app. Very good list of drinks that actually are well made and tasty. I have used other apps that just were overloaded with tons of junk drinks. It feels like the creators of this app actually enjoyed making the drinks and decided which were good enough to add to the list. Really appreciate the perpetual updates drinks listing too. Hate paying for things more than once.
