Friday Fill Ep. 11: Garden-to-Glass Spicy Bourbon Peach Tea

From dirt to drink: the best part of a fall garden reset belongs in your glass

Welcome back to The Friday Fill, our series dedicated to improving your outdoor sips with easy batch cocktails you can share and hosting tips you can use this weekend. Today, we’re in the garden with our friend Katie from @gimletsandgardens as she pairs her fall garden bed reset with a shareable seasonal cocktail pulled straight from the harvest

This beautiful batch bourbon cocktail blends sun-ripened peaches, homegrown rosemary, spicy jalapeño and a sun tea base to create a drink that expresses everything we love about summer and fall together. When it's patio weather, you'll love the juicy peach and rosemary flavors as the sun fades. If it's feeling more fall-like out, the bourbon and jalapeño kick will keep you warm. You gotta love autumnal beverage versatility especially when made with the freshest ingredients from your garden. Rally the group chat and make this cocktail this weekend!

The Recipe: Spicy Bourbon Peach Tea

This recipe yields up to 6 cocktails in one shake!

  • 6 oz Bourbon
  • 4 oz Peach Liqueur
  • 2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 8 oz Sun Tea
  • 2 oz Peach Jalapeño Rosemary Syrup

Garnish

  • Fresh peach slices
  • Jalapeño rounds
  • Garden-fresh mint sprigs

How to Make It:

  1. Make Syrup: Simmer equal parts sugar and water with fresh peach slices, jalapeño rounds, and a few rosemary sprigs for 10 minutes, then strain out the solids and let it cool.
  2. Combine: Add the bourbon, peach liqueur, lemon juice, sun tea, and peach jalapeño rosemary syrup directly into your Highball Shaker.
  3. Chill: Add ice, cap, and shake vigorously.
  4. Pour: Strain through the built-in strainer top into ice-filled Parkside Tumblers.
  5. Garnish: Top each glass with a fresh peach slice, a jalapeño round, and a slap of fresh mint.

Built for the Backyard Pour

Sipping a cool cocktail outdoors shouldn't require hauling a drawer full of strainers, shakers, and fragile glass out to the potting bench. The Highball Shaker simplifies the entire setup, giving you enough volume to batch a full round for two with instant refills sitting ready on deck. Shake once, cap it, and let the built-in strainer lid do the heavy lifting. No extra tools required. Poured into double-wall insulated Parkside Tumblers, your drink stays ice-cold long after you put the garden tools away. Available in a full lineup of refined colorways, it's the easiest way to pull together a sleek "His & Hers" bar set right on your patio.
