Chef's Tip:
  • If you don't have time to make your own peach juice, you can buy some at your local supermarket — just be mindful of how sweet the juice is when you're mixing in the rest of the cocktail ingredients.
  • If the simple syrup is too spicy, you can swap for a more mild pepper — to make the simple syrup spicier, either steep for longer or mix in hotter peppers.
