The "Meat" In the sweet meat cocktail doesn't involve bacon, as you might suspect from modern cocktails. Instead, it comes from the sweet flesh of peaches, though even that is found in an unusual ingredient that you'll need to make yourself (don't worry, it's easy). This bourbon cocktail recipe was created by virginia cocktailian todd thrasher. It's a tribute to sweet fruit candies that were once prevalent throughout the southern united states. The cocktail itself requires just three ingredients and gently enhances the bourbon with fruit and nut flavors. Its key ingredient is the pecan peach water, which is sweetened with honey. You're sure to enjoy the fascinating and brilliant new take on the typical peach drink.
