It Ain’t All Sunshine and Peaches – Peach Highball

Picture of Heather Wibbels, Cocktail Contessa, pouring a cocktailHeather Wibbels
Welcome summer in a glass with a peach highball featuring rye whiskey, ginger ale, frozen peaches and a sprig of mint or basil at the top. The Willett family estate rye pairs it’s own stone fruit notes with the peach liqueur and peach garnishes to ease us into a summer sipper easy to make on the fly.
