Peach Cobbler

Peachtree Street

This peach-inspired sour comprised of gin, lemon juice, peach liqueur and peach syrup is shaken not stirred with muddled basil leaves to bump up the herbal notes in the gin. Topped with a simple garnish of basil oil, the Peachtree Street is as refreshing as it is lovely on a warm day.
