Hey Anthony! I'm an avid fan of your videos! :) But I do have one question...I've noticed all the times I've made this drink that I'm getting a very very thick drink even after extra muddling...adding less sugar...anything that would "thin" out the drink, but I have yet to try skinning the peaches. Were your peaches skinned? Or is there another trick that I'm not doing? Thanks Anthony!

[drinkart]

This drink should be slightly thicker than most cocktails, but not overly so. If you're using regular (as opposed to donunt) peaches, make sure you're only using half a peach. Also, you can double-strain the drink, a technique I'll be covering in an upcoming episode - simply strain from the shaker through a fine sieve into the glass. And don't forget you can always add more Maker's Mark! Thanks for commenting!

i like knob creek old fashioned's they taste more balanced than the makers. Does using all that fruit mask the bourbon too much?

[drinkart]

I like KC also, but Maker's is my favorite. I think the reverse of your question is actually the case: the Bourbon helps bring out a lot more flavor in the fruit. Alcohol dissolves (and therefore allows us to taste) a lot of compounds that water doesn't, so you get more depth of flavor from the fruit when you muddle it with spirits. Thanks for commenting!
