beauty essentials

Make these instead of (or alongside) Juleps for the Derby, and then make them every warm weekend thereafter. Enlist a friend to help you bash ice, or, for a larger crowd, we like to crush ice in a blender. (less) - Kenzi Wilbur

Serves 1

1 1/2 ounces Bulleit bourbon
1 heaping barspoon peach jam
1 barspoon honey
1 fat lemon wedge
4 to 6 mint leaves

Muddle the herbs and lemon wedge, then add the jam, honey, and spirit and stir.
Add ice and shake hard for 5 to 10 seconds, depending on the size of your ice. Strain into a rocks glass over crushed ice. Garnish with more mint.
