Golden Slumbers

A refreshing summertime Highball riff brimming with flavors of ripe summer peach and pineapple ๐๐๐นโ๏ธ
The barrel spice, citrus zest, and slight butterscotch notes in the reposado tequila combine with the rounded roasted corn and smoke notes in the elote mezcal to create a base that highlights the juicy, sweet flavors of ripe yellow peach. The addition of peach eau de vie helps boost the peach flavor which is joined by flavors of pineapple from the tepache and splash of pineapple liqueur. The honey syrup and ginger/allspice notes in the bitters help balance the drink in contrast to the tartness in the lemon and tepache. Summer refreshment at its finest!
Muddle 3 slice of ripe yellow peach (delicious peaches from Masumoto farms here!) in .5oz honey syrup (equal volumes honey and warm water; stir until combined)
Add:
1 oz Reposado Tequila (Arette, El Tesoro, Siete Leguas, etc)
.5 oz Peach Brandy/Eau de Vie (Kuchan, Reisetbauer, etc)
.5 oz Mezcal Vago Elote-infused Mezcal (has a nice rounded smokiness with hints of roasted, buttered corn)
.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
.25 oz Pineapple Liqueur (Giffard; pineapple gomme syrup would also work well)
1 dash Bittercube Jamaican #1 Bitters (ginger; allspice notes)
Shake with ice and double strain into a chilled Collins glass with ice cubes. Top with 2 oz pineapple tepache
