Ira Colley's Blog: Berry Peach Kentucky Mules

There are only a few more summer weekends left on the calendar, so it’s essential to enjoy them to the absolute fullest in order to maximize summer enjoyment. One of my favorite ways to do that? A seasonal cocktail — and this recipe for Berry Peachy Kentucky Mules (made with bourbon!) from our friends at Fix Feast Flair is guaranteed to hit the spot!

From Alana… I picked up some peaches and blueberries and went ahead and gave one of my favorites, the Kentucky mule, a summer twist! I think mules were made for summer cause they’re borderline boozy snow cones packed with ginger-lime goodness, guaranteed to cool you down in an instant.

Ingredients

For the Peach Simple Syrup:
3 small peaches (or 2 large peaches) pitted and cut into ½" wedges
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup filtered water
For The Mule:
Crushed ice
2 ½ oz. (good) bourbon
1 oz. peach simple syrup
½ oz. blueberry juice
½ oz. fresh lime juice
3 ½ oz. ginger beer
Fresh blueberries, peach slices, and lime wheels, for garnish

Instructions

Combine peaches, granulated sugar, and filtered water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until peaches are fork tender. Let cool, to room temperature.
Strain syrup through a fine mesh strainer. Transfer syrup to a bottle with lid to store in fridge until ready to use. (Peach solids can be used to top ice cream, blended in smoothies etc.)
Peach simple syrup can be stored in fridge for up to two weeks.
For the mule, fill a copper mug halfway full with crushed ice.
Add bourbon, peach simple syrup, blueberry juice, fresh lime juice, and ginger beer, then give it a quick stir with a bar spoon.
Top with ice, filling the mug to the top, then add blueberry, peach, and lime garnishes.
Serve and enjoy!
