Frozen Peach and Bourbon Blender Cocktail

This refreshing blender cocktail is made with fresh peaches. The recipe was adapted from Epicurious. It is fruity, easy to make (just throw everything together in a blender) and versatile. If you are not keen on whiskey, swap it out with gin or rum. If you don’t like peach, use mango instead. You can even pour the cocktail into popsicle molds to make boozy ice pops. For a kid-friendly version, use peach or orange juice instead of the alcohol. This grown-up slushy would make a cool addition to any summer brunch.
