Jael McHenry, The Kitchen Daughter
I brace myself to drink at least a little. I decide to count to three first. So I’m awkwardly hunched when the woman’s voice behind me says, “That doesn’t look entirely dignified, but I admire your spirit.”
Georgia Peach Cocktail
A refreshing and vibrant drink that showcases the essence of Georgia's beloved peaches. This cocktail combines ripe peaches, vodka, peach liqueur, and a splash of lime juice for a delightful burst of flavor.

Notes
For a mocktail version, simply omit the vodka and peach liqueur, and increase the amount of peach puree and lime juice for a delicious non-alcoholic peach beverage.
