Ingredients

½ cup peach, diced (½ large peach)
1 tablespoon honey
4-5 mint leaves
2 oz bourbon
2 oz ginger beer

Instructions

Place peaches, honey and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler to gently muddle the mint leaves, but don't muddle too much or you'll break up the leaves.
Add bourbon and stir to combine.
Fill one glass ⅔ of the way full with the peach mixture and ice. (You can also strain the mixture)
Top with ginger beer. Add extra mint leaves and peaches for garnish.

Notes

If you don’t have fresh peaches, frozen peaches will work fine.
Do not over muddle the mint or you will turn the taste bitter.
You can replace the honey with granulated sugar.
Used crushed ice which will make the peach cocktail colder quicker.
