This one is perhaps best described as a Sweet 'n Sour. Delicious.

Outstanding. I added a bit of ginger liquer too, and a shake of Peach butters… good balance of sweet and sour. A winner.

Made with luxardo apricot since my peach was in my other residence but was way to sweet.

Make it without egg white like the original recipe. Would make it again, with egg white to see it would be less sweet. Since this was just a bit too sweet for me, but was really good.

This is the first whiskey drink I've ever enjoyed.

I bought a bottle of Aquafaba for the Easter Bank holiday weekend and this will be the first in a series of Frothy Festive Drinks. What a way to start! Upped the crème de Pêche after reading the other comments.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Instinctively knew I’d want a bigger peach hit so upped that to 15ml but otherwise stuck to the recipe and thought it was spot on. It is sweet but the generous 20ml lemon sorts that out. Think using a bourbon with more rye in the mash bill also plays better for balancing sweetness, as well as pulling together better with the spice of the ginger.

I used peach schnapps and it comes through strong... This is the most gentile mountain man you've ever met. It's good, but plenty sweet. Is there bourbon in there? My takeaway: ingredient choices matter a lot.

Chris Dimal 3y

Wow, I wish I could taste what you're tasting. The peach was destroyed by the ginger in my case. Still good, but nothing like I hoped. I do have to say that I used a homemade peach liqueur, so maybe that's the problem? Maybe I should've increased it?

Sounds like your peach liqueur is the issue. Perhaps try with more.

Chris Dimal 2y

Remade it with more generous amounts of peach liqueur (verging on 10ml), it was still ginger-y, though with a nice, mellow undercurrent. Still not peachy though. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

I had the opposite problem if anything.

Much better than I was expecting. A little sweet for my personal preference, but still very good. The maple syrup add a hint of smoky sweetness. Next time I would probably increase the Bourbon. Would not destroy the balance.
