Democrat | Cocktail Party

Democrat

The Democrat is a lovely peach-and-bourbon cocktail, created by mixologist Jon Santer while working at Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco.

At the time, Santer was reading a biography of Harry Truman. Inspired by Truman’s habit of drinking evening cocktails with his wife, out on the patio of his Missouri estate, Santer devised a perfect summertime drink. It’s quintessentially Southern, made for long days and warm nights.

The Democrat calls for a relatively large share of peach liqueur, so make sure that you have a quality bottle. Marie Brizard’s peach liqueur is de rigeur, but Giffard’s Crème de Pêche is our absolute favorite (when we can find it).

Add all ingredients to a tall glass and fill halfway with crushed ice. Stir until the glass is quite cold, and top with more crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel, a freshly-slapped mint spring, and a straw.

Cocktail Party app on tablets and phones

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on a drink.

Finally great cocktail app

I was so tired in these obnoxious subscription based apps. It was really hard to find this one. Works really well and interface is clean and understandable! Thank you!
