Nectarine Dreams
Annnd we’re back with the second half of this week’s content, starting off with a “no-waste” syrup and now building a cocktail around it. I love bourbon and peaches (or nectarines), so this is my core. I split the base with aquavit for its botanicals— specifically, coriander, clementine, and anise. A bit of Montenegro elevates the orange-y notes and lends a bittersweet balance.
I think this drink works with or without the egg white, but I wouldn’t skip the tarragon if you haven’t access— the soft anise aroma is a great lead in to the drink underneath.
Recipe
1.25oz bourbon

Dry shake, wet shake, fine strain into double OF glass with a large block of #clearice (kindly gifted by @iceblox_ri). Garnish with fresh tarragon. Cheers!!
