Ray Pearson is a seasoned traveler and well-versed in most spirits–especially whisky (he’s a certified expert!). His travels often allow him to try an unusual cocktail or two. Here’s a recipe he picked up while traveling in the ruggedly beautiful little mountain town of Silverton, CO.

Ingredients

  • sugar (enough to rim the glass 1/2 way)
  • 1 spoonful peach jam
  • ½ lime
  • 2 oz Platino Rum
  • 5-6 muddled mint leaves
  • 3-5 cubed peach pieces
  •  Soda water

1.) Pour the peach jam, lime juice, and rum in a cocktail shaker

2.) Muddle mint leaves in a cocktail glass and add peach pieces

3.) Shake contents of shaker for 30 seconds, and pour contents of cocktail glass

4.) Top off with soda water and give it all a good stir. Enjoy!
