A lot of cocktails use peach schnapps or Southern Comfort (which is a peachy liqueur), but peach juice as an ingredient isn’t that common. The Bayou is one exception: it uses peach juice as a main ingredient. This gives it a nice fresh fruitiness that’s different from the usual citrus or pineapple juice mixers.
I do wonder where this cocktail got its name. Peaches are associated with Georgia, but the Bayou is associated with Louisiana. Ah, who cares?
Bayou
- 2 ounces cognac
- 2 ounces peach juice
- dash of lime juice
Shake ingredients with ice in a shaker, and strain into a martini glass.
Try the Bayou cocktail as an aperitif – it’s not too strong, and it definitely stimulates the appetite.
