The Cocktail Hour
Bar Manager of MO Bar + Lounge, Steve Minor, has shared a recipe for one of the bar’s signature summer cocktails, a Southern Swizzle. Featuring one of the South’s most beloved ingredients, the peach, it’s a refreshing cocktail for summertime entertaining. The sweetness of the peach liqueur and nectar is offset by the spicy ginger beer; it’s a wonderful pairing of flavors.

Southern Sizzle
This summertime cocktail is unique and refreshing. The sweetness from the peach liqueur and nectar is tempered with the spicy ginger beer and bitters. MO Bar + Lounge serves the cocktail in a Julep cup, which keeps the drink well-chilled. We liked serving it in a clear glass to show the color of the cocktail. Either way, it’s delicious.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces 4 Roses Yellow Label Bourbon
1 1/2 ounces Peach Nectar
1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 ounce Crème De Peche
3 leaves fresh mint
Splash Ginger Beer
3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
Mint sprig, for garnish
Directions:
1. Pour the first 5 ingredients into a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 5 seconds and strain into a Julep or cocktail glass filled with crushed ice.
2. Top off with a splash of ginger beer, 3 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters and a mint sprig.
