Tennessee Honey Hole

Based on the Joe's Crab Shack Honey Peach Smash, this cocktail recipe is made with Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey, peaches and ginger ale. Light and refreshing but decadent and indulgent too!

I’m a beer drinker. And I don’t usually like sweet drinks. So when a big group of us went out for dinner on a weekend beach trip, I did what I always do and ordered a beer. While the waiter was getting everyone else’s drink orders, I picked up the seasonal menu and spotted a cocktail that caught my eye.

Theirs was Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey, muddled peaches, fresh mint and lemon-lime soda. Since I was on a getaway weekend – at the beach no less – I changed up my order and decided to get the JD cocktail. What the heck, right?

The waiter brought my drink, I took one glorious sip of it, grabbed his arm and said, “Whatever I tell you, do not let me have another one of these.” Great day in the morning, that thing was good! I could tell I’d knock the bottom out of it in no time and would want another but I had my Angel Baby with me and wouldn't want to have more than one drink knowing we’d be driving back to the hotel after dinner.

It’s light and bubbly and fresh from the peaches and soda but somehow rich and decadent at the same time from the whiskey and honey.

It’s AH. MAZE. ING.

As soon as I got home I set out to recreate it! I decided to omit the mint because I really couldn't pick it up in the drink anyway and I thought ginger ale would be better with the honey so that’s how I made mine!

You can buy the peach syrup at most liquor stores but I’ll post a recipe below to make your own if you can’t find it. Consider making a batch. It’s super easy and it’s ta die for in iced tea!

I couldn't figure out what to call this. We've got Tennessee whiskey, honey, peaches and ginger ale. I decided to call it a Tennessee Honey Hole because JD is a Tennessee whiskey and a “honey hole” is what my daddy always called a good fishing hole or a sweet spot to put a deer stand.

It means something good and special and that’s what this is!

Based on the Joe's Crab Shack Honey Peach Smash, this cocktail recipe is made with Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey, peaches and ginger ale. Light and refreshing but decadent and indulgent too!

Ingredients:

• Diced fresh peaches, unpeeled
• 1 ounce peach syrup (see below)
• 2 ounces Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey
• 2 ounces ginger ale
• Ice

Instructions:

1. Place a scant handful of diced peaches and peach syrup in the bottom of a highball glass (double quantities if using a 12-oz. mason jar).
2. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle peaches in syrup (smash them up a bit).
3. Fill glass with ice then add Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey and ginger ale. Stir then serve.

Notes:

There are a few options for the Peach Syrup. You can buy a flavored syrup such as Monin’s, you can make your own or you can use the syrup or juice from a can of peaches.
To make your own peach syrup: combine 1.5 cups of water, 1 cup of sugar and 4 unpeeled pitted and diced peaches in a saucepan then bring to a boil. Stir until sugar dissolves. Cool to room temperature then strain.
You can play around with the quantities to suit your taste.
