Ingredients
Method
Chop half a peach and add to cocktail shaker with lime juice, orgeat, and bitters. Muddle until the peach is well-mashed. Add 1 oz Empress 1908 Indigo Gin and crushed ice then shake briefly to chill. Fine-strain into rocks glass filled with crushed ice (adding more ice as needed) then float remaining 1 oz Empress Indigo Gin. Garnish with mint sprig and a peach fan.
Notes
*To make cinnamon orgeat, blend together 50g toasted almonds and 200g of warm water until nuts are fully pulverized. Strain through nut milk bag, squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Measure the weight of the liquid and add in an equal amount of sugar and blend together until sugar is dissolved. Add ¼ tsp orange blossom water and add 2-3 cracked and toasted cinnamon sticks. Let infuse overnight in the fridge before using.
