How to make ...

Georgia Peach Julep

Whilst a Mint Julep with bourbon (or rye) is perhaps the most famous iteration of this cocktail, this Georgia Peach Julep is actually a lot closer to what Juleps may have looked like originally. In the 19th century, brandy was far more popular as a cocktail ingredient than whisky, with the shift happening after the great phylloxera epidemic in the late 19th century which wiped out nearly 70% of France’s grape crops. The oldest version of a boozy Julep would actually have used peach brandy, though as this spirit became less common, newer recipes called for a mix of traditional grape brandy and peach brandy or peach liqueur.

Our version uses Hennessy VS cognac and peach syrup to help mellow out and lengthen this normally quite punchy cocktail, mixed with a handful of mint and a heap of crushed ice, the Georgia Peach Julep is ideal as a refreshing, balanced summer sipper.
