peach chamomile gin cocktail

Infused with a fragrant chamomile simple syrup and fruity peach juice, this gin cocktail is both sweet and fresh! This relaxing cocktail is the perfect recipe to unwind with after a long day!

Since I’ve been homebound for the last few months, I’ve taken to trying my hand at mixology. This, of course, happens between looking for jobs since I just finished my Master’s program!! It’s been an insane ending to an incredible year, which leads me to the most relaxing drink I have been able to come up with – a gin cocktail flavored with peach and chamomile. The soothing properties of chamomile along with its floral sweetness perfectly complement the mixture of gin and peach juice. This cocktail is perfect for a weekend brunch or maybe even a relaxing evening after a long day of job searching!

Tea-infused simple syrups are one of the easiest ways to add a little flavor to your cocktails. I used a plain chamomile tea here, but I also have a delicious blueberry chamomile tea blend that I can’t wait to turn into a syrup to add to my sparkling waters and lemonades! And in a pinch you can use other teas you keep on hand, maybe blackberry or a nice vanilla caramel, and turn them into syrups to top your pancakes and waffles! Using tea bags to infuse your simple syrups with flavor is an excellent way to level up your recipes using just pantry items.
