Ingredients

1 oz rye whiskey (I used Old Forester)
½ oz pineapple-infused rhum Agricole (I infused Clement Rhum Blanc Agricole) If you don't have rhum agricole I would substitute out for another unaged spirit - don't try aged or spiced rums.
½ oz Giffards peche du vinge
½ oz peach simple syrup**
¾ oz lemon juice
¼ oz St Elizabeth’s Allspice dram optional
5 basil leaves
3 slices of peach
3 chunks of pineapple
Garnish: basil, peach wedges and pineapple

Instructions

Combine simple syrup, peach wedges and pineapple in the bottom of a mixing tin and muddle until juices have been released. Add the basil and muddle again briefly. Add whiskey, rhum, peach liqueur and lemon juice. Fill with ice and shake until very cold. Strain (or not, it’s smash) into a rocks-filled old fashioned glass and garnish with basil, peaches and pineapple as desired.

Notes

Peach Simple Syrup**

2 cups peeled, chopped peaches
2 cups sugar

Combine peaches and sugar in a ziploc bag and muddle them together until well-mixed. Leave in the fridge overnight to 24 hours. Strain before using and store in the fridge.
