P.S.....it's Friday.

One of my favorite summertime treats is fresh peaches from the local farmers market. Organic, Juicy & Delicious, it's a perfect ingredient to most salads, desserts and our favorite...Cocktails! We're taking on Bourbon this Happy Hour Friday, Elijah Craig 12 year to be exact, named for the Rev. Elijah Craig, the man who discovered the method of making true Kentucky Bourbon when he stored his wares in barrels that had been charred in a fire.We're adding fresh peach, mint, lemon and a touch of agave nectar to balance it all out. We're calling it a Peach Smash, or the P.S. for short, cause we're sexy like that. It's a wonderful addition to summer, maybe even this weekend, as the sun sets during those BBQ afternoons...
