Cocktail Colin says:
The Peach Ginger Smash is a delightful fusion of flavors where the sweet, smooth profile of peach nectar perfectly complements the warm, fiery kick from fresh ginger. This enticing blend is cleverly balanced with the sharp, refreshing zing of lemon juice, while bourbon adds a deeply aromatic, oaky backdrop that elevates the fruity and spicy notes, creating a cocktail that's both invigorating and soothing.
