Berry Peach Buzz

I was inspired to create a cocktail that captures the essence of summer, no matter the season or weather and the Berry Peach Buzz cocktail is it! This refreshing libation brings together the sweetness of ripe peaches, tartness of blackberries, and herbal notes of basil for a drink that’s bursting with flavor.

The Berry Peach Buzz embodies luscious Georgia peaches, complemented by the distinct character of Evan Williams whiskey. If you don’t have a muddler for the blackberries, use the back of a spoon. Prosecco or any kind of sparkling white wine makes this refreshing cocktail sippable all spring and summer long!

Tell Me About Evan Williams Peach Bourbon

Evan Williams Peach Bourbon delivers a deliciously smooth and fruity experience, infusing each sip with the essence of ripe peaches. Crafted with precision and care, this bourbon adds a delightful twist to classic cocktails, elevating them to new heights of flavor and enjoyment.

Ingredients for the Berry Peach Buzz

  • Evan Williams Peach: Infused with the essence of ripe peaches, Evan Williams Peach whiskey adds a luscious fruity sweetness to the cocktail. For a non-alcoholic version, try using peach-flavored syrup or juice as a sub.
  • Basil Leaves: Adds a refreshing herbal note to the cocktail. If basil isn’t available, swap it out with a few sprigs of fresh mint for a similar aromatic touch.
  • Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice brings a burst of citrusy brightness. If you’re in a pinch, use bottled lemon juice.
  • Agave: A natural sweetener that provides a mellow sweetness and complements the other ingredients without overpowering them.
  • Blackberries: Lends a beautiful hue to the drink and a delightful tartness that balances the sweetness of the peaches.
  • Prosecco: Prosecco adds crisp, bubbly texture. If you don’t have prosecco on hand, you can use sparkling water or champagne as a substitute for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • Slice of Fresh Peach, Edible Flower: For a pop of color, add a slice of fresh peach and edible flower.
