Perfect Peach Mule | Party Time Favorites

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka (or bourbon for a Peach Kentucky Mule)
• 4 oz ginger beer
• 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 fresh peach, pitted and sliced
• Mint leaves (optional)
• Lime wedge for garnish
• Peach slice for garnish
• Ice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peach Purée:
   • In a blender, purée half of the peach slices until smooth. If the peaches are very ripe, you can mash them with a fork or muddle them in the shaker.
2. Muddle the Mint (Optional):
   • If using mint, place a few mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker and gently muddle to release the oils.
3. Mix the Drink:
   • Fill a shaker with ice.
   • Add the vodka (or bourbon), fresh lime juice, and peach purée (or muddled peach).
   • Shake well to combine.
4. Assemble the Mule:
   • Fill a copper mug or highball glass with ice.
   • Strain the contents of the shaker into the mug.
   • Top with ginger beer and stir gently.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with a lime wedge, a slice of fresh peach, and a sprig of mint if desired.
