George Washington's Distillery @ Mount Vernon

Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

2 oz. George Washington’s Straight Rye Whiskey

1 oz. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. freshly grated, peeled ginger

3/4 oz. simple syrup (1:1)

2 slices fresh peaches or spiced, brandied peaches (in the fall)

how to prepare

A Peach Cobbler predates common usage of “cocktail” and was a common way to cut the strength of strong spirits with the sweetness of fresh fruit. We’ve made it a little more seasonal by preserving peaches in some fall spices, adding grated ginger. It’s a murky drink with the fruit muddled in, and delicious.
