How to Make Peach Bourbon Smash

Step 1: Pull a red Solo cup from your Gator's spring-loaded dispenser. Time for some Southern hospitality.

Step 2: Fill the cup with clean ice cubes from your Gator's dedicated ice bin. Clean ice means smooth bourbon flavor.

Step 3: Pour 2 oz of bourbon from your organized bottle compartment. Any bourbon works - Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, or whatever you prefer.

Step 4: Add 4 oz of peach iced tea. The insulated compartments keep tea perfectly chilled.

Step 5: Add 0.5 oz of simple syrup for just the right amount of sweetness. Adjust to taste based on your tea's sweetness.

Step 6: Give it a good stir to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig or peach slice from your Gator's front storage pocket. Serve immediately and enjoy!

🎯 Pro Tips & Tricks

🍑 Peach Tea Choice: Sweetened peach tea needs less simple syrup. Unsweetened lets you control the sweetness perfectly.

🥃 Bourbon Selection: Mid-shelf bourbon like Jim Beam or Maker's Mark is perfect. Save the expensive stuff for sipping neat.

🍯 Simple Syrup: Start with 0.5 oz and adjust. You can always add more, but you can't take it away!

🌿 Mint Smash: Gently slap the mint sprig before garnishing to release aromatic oils. It makes a huge difference!

❄️ Tea Temperature: Use cold peach tea, not room temperature. Pre-chill it in your Gator for the best results.

🍑 Fresh Peach Upgrade: Muddle fresh peach slices in the cup before adding ice for incredible fresh peach flavor.

🍹 Batch Option: Pre-mix bourbon, peach tea, and simple syrup in a bottle. Store in your Gator and pour over ice when serving.

🏈 Fall Favorite: This is THE bourbon cocktail for fall football season. Smooth enough for all-day tailgating.
