Georgia Peach Cocktail Two Ways

This Georgia Peach cocktail will remind you of a Long Island Iced Tea but it’s got that peach feel too it!  Southern Bell Style!!!! 

Sometimes after a good day at work or on a day off while the kids in school, it’s time for a drank!  We have this bar down the road near our house.  It’s nothing fancy as all the hard working blue collar workers stop in for a cold one after work.  Some even call it their “office” during the day!  HaHa!  And that’s perfectly fine because they are their own boss- running their own businesses! Hell they can do what they want to do!  They don’t have to answer to anyone as they do a few business meetings.  And while they relax, or do a few meet and greets, we’re in there talking and making connections too.  So I guess it’s my office too right??

One of bar’s therapist, excuse me, I meant bartender makes me one of the most delicious cocktails.  And she calls it The Georgia Peach.  She always makes this for me because I’m not a beer or hard alcohol drinker.  I like my wines full bodied to light and crisp….. (Which is not a big hot ticket item to buy in a lot of “kick back hole in the wall establishments” where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came…..)  And after a few margaritas – the margarita life gets old.  So she whips this one up for me in exchange for a ridiculously awesome plate of grubs from one of my food blogging cooking adventures.  Good exchange I think….  I can go with the motto – Will Cook for Drink!  🙂

So when I came to my lab (kitchen) to make this cocktail, I made it two different ways.  One recipe is similar to the version my bartender makes for – a long island with a twist, which is peach schnapps liqueur.

Or you can go with my second version that has less alcohol if you don’t want to commit to a hard core mixed drink and get more of a peachy flavor.  It’s all up to you, your choice 🙂

Enjoy!  And Drink up for me! Because I can’t anymore…  I am one week into the Whole 30 program…  Wish me luck!  I’ll keep you posted.
