Peeps Cocktail for the Kid in You

This Peeps cocktail is in no way a serious drink. It is not high-faultin’. It is not something that will be a daily drinker.

However, it is fun.

And anytime you serve someone a cocktail with a Peep garnish. You will win the day. Promise.

Kentucky Straight Peeps

My brother-in-law LOVES peeps. But he doesn’t like fresh ones. In fact, he loves them after they’ve aged about 2 years. So each year, he gets a few packages, pokes a few holes in them, and put them in a cupboard. For two years. He loves them dried and crunchy.

When he mentioned this to me I told him he was eating Kentucky Straight Peeps (since bourbon has to aged 2 years to be called straight bourbon. He didn’t get the reference.

I thought it was hilarious.

What’s in this Peeps Cocktail

This is a cocktail for the kid in you. It is not a truly balanced cocktail, but it looks so fun with the Peeps perched on the edge that you’ll enjoy it regardless.

The cocktail contains a Peep simple syrup (recipe below), banana liqueur, coconut rum, fresh lemon juice and tad bit of allspice dram. Then we will top it all off with a splash of champagne or bubbles.

• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup sugar

• 6 large marshmallows
• 2 drops pink food coloring

Add ingredients to a saucepan on low heat. Keep on low until everything melts and turns into a simple syrup. Strain with a fine mesh sieve and store in clean glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
