Peaches and bourbon are old friends down here — sweet, strong, and always welcome at the table. But put a peach on the grill before you mash it, and the sugar caramelizes, the smoke sneaks in, and suddenly the drink’s not just sweet anymore. It’s layered, like the best kind of story.
Add bubbles on top and you’ve got yourself a Backyard Peach Bourbon Fizz — light enough to sip all evening, bold enough to carry the fire with it.
