Step-by-Step Instructions

Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice cubes to prepare for chilling.

Add the smoky blended whisky, lychee liqueur, sugar syrup, lemon juice, peach iced tea, and orange bitters to the shaker.

Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels very cold to the touch.

Fill a goblet or tall glass with fresh crushed ice. Double strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh sieve into the glass to ensure a smooth, ice-shard-free texture.

Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a slice of peach. Serve immediately while chilled.

Chef's Tips

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the whisky and liqueur with extra peach tea and a splash of lychee syrup. If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the sugar syrup to 15ml. Using a high-quality, naturally brewed peach iced tea will significantly enhance the final flavor profile.
