Peach Silk Old-Fashioned

Ingredients

Cocktail

• 2 fl oz rye whiskey
• 1 tsp smooth peach preserves
• 1 tsp warm water
• 2 dashes aromatic bitters
• 1 cup ice for stirring
• 1 large ice cube, for serving

Finish

• 1 thin fresh peach slice
• 1 strip orange peel, about 2 inches long

Equipment

Mixing glass, bar spoon, fine strainer, 8-fl-oz rocks glass

Allergens and ingredient notes: Alcohol; rye is distilled from grains. Check bitters and spirit labels.

Measurements are US fluid ounces (fl oz), tablespoons (tbsp), and teaspoons (tsp). Syrup components may make extra: use only the drink quantity listed. These recipes contain alcohol and are intended for adults 21 and over.

Step by step

1. Stir peach preserves and warm water in the mixing glass until loosened. Let cool for 1 minute. Add rye and bitters.
2. Fill with the stirring ice and stir for 20–25 seconds until chilled. Fine-strain over the large cube in the rocks glass; the peach can leave a slight haze.
3. Express the orange peel over the surface by gently squeezing it, then add the peel and peach slice to the glass. Serve immediately.

The Devotti twist: Peach preserves provide a measured touch of sweetness and fruit while rye remains the main flavor.

Make ahead and storage

Mix to order. Keep preserves refrigerated according to their label.
