queenshaboo commented on 8/02/2017:

Seems unbalanced, too dry and sour for my tastes. Next time use 1/4 oz simple syrup or up the chartreuse. 

SmilingJaguar commented on 12/05/2020:

Agree that the lime dominates a bit too much. I used Beefeater 24 for my first one. I made two other variations that I enjoyed better. 1) Upping the Chartreuse to 1/2 oz and 2) Using a Navy Strength Gin [Bully Boy The Chemistry Gin] (along with the extra Chartreuse).

Lazy Summer Mornings

1 oz Gin
1⁄2 oz Peach liqueur
2 sli Peach
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (Black pepper, see note)
4 oz Sparkling white wine
Instructions

(Drink is a work in progress)

Muddle peach slices with the simple syrup. add the gin and liqueur and stir until chilled. Double strain into champagne flute or cocktail glass and top with sparking white wine. Garnish with another peach slice.

Notes

Black Pepper Simple Syrup
1/4 cup whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar

History

Peach season is quickly approaching and nothing reminds me more of summer than fresh, juicy peaches. I love to add pepper to most of my fruits and thought a drink that does the same would be divine.

1 bsp Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 sli Lemon peel

I like the fleeting and ephemeral flavor of this cocktail. Slightly herbal, fruit forward, with an interesting intermix between the sweet gin and calvados

Curated this slightly: changed the bitters from "Aged" to "Aromatic" to reflect picture and avoid confusion with their Aged Citrus bitters.

Thanks,
