Peach Pie Martini

Angostura bitters elevate this sweet cocktail to peach pie dessert status, making a peach pie martini the perfect summer (or dreaming of summer) night cap.

Makes 1 cocktail.

2 oz vodka
1 oz peach liqueur
1.5 oz peach syrup (recipe below)
0.5 oz lemon juice
5 dashes aromatic bitters 

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker full of ice. 

Shake well.

Strain into a martini glass. 

Enjoy!

Peach Syrup: 

1 ripe peach, sliced
¼ c brown sugar
¼ c water
0.5 oz lemon juice

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and reduce to simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5 mins until peaches are extremely soft.

Remove from heat and mash peach slices into the liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.

Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Press peach mixture through the sieve.

Discard any peach remnants left in the sieve.

Let the liquid cool completely before using.

Makes 4 oz of syrup, enough for 2 peach pie martinis. 

Tips for Peach Pie Martinis

• Make the peach syrup several hours before making your cocktails so it has time to chill before using it.
• Fresh juice is important here. Take the time to squeeze some lemon juice. It'll taste better than bottled. Promise!
• To add some extra spice to your drink, give your glass a cinnamon sugar rim! Combine 1 tsp sugar and ¼ tsp cinnamon in a shallow dish. Wet the rim of your glass with a slice of lemon or some water and dip it in the cinnamon sugar mixture. (Do this step before you make your martini.)
