Recipe
Here is how to make the Peach Habibi! I think this a great refreshing drink for summer days ahead. But before we start shaking cocktails there is a bit of prep to do first. Here is how to make the shrub.
Peach & basil shrub:
6 peaches
½ bunch basil
1.5 cups of sugar
1.5 cups of white wine vinegar
Cut up the peaches and remove the pits. Put them in a container with the basil and add one and a half cups of sugar. Cover the container with cling film and leave for 24 hours. Feel free to leave for longer than 24 hours so it gets extra peachy! Most of the juice from the peaches will have come out and dissolved the sugar. Add vinegar and stir until all the sugar has dissolved completely.
Now we’re ready to make cocktails!
Tools needed: Shaker, strainer, and measure

50ml Tovarich! Vodka
