In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the peach slices with the sugar and mint leaves. Press gently to release the juices and essential oils, creating a fragrant mixture.

Add the bourbon to the muddled mixture, and stir to combine.

Fill a glass with crushed ice, then pour the peach and bourbon mixture over the ice.

If you prefer a little fizz, top off with a splash of club soda.

Garnish with extra mint leaves and a slice of peach for a beautiful presentation.

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Peach Mint Julep!
