Ingredients

1 large peach, halved, pit removed, and skin on
½ lemon
¼ cup white sugar
5 leaves fresh mint
2 fluid ounces simple syrup
3 fluid ounces bourbon (such as Bulleit)
ice
4 fluid ounces ginger ale, or as needed

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. When the grill is hot, close the lid, heat for 5 minutes.
Place peach halves and lemon, cut-sides down, in sugar until coated. Place on the grill; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, about 1 minute. Cut peach into slices; reserve 2 slices for garnish.
Place peach slices, mint leaves, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker; juice lemon into the shaker. Gently mash with a cocktail muddler. Pour in bourbon and ice, cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled glass; top with ginger ale, and garnish with grilled peach slices and lemon.

Cook's Note:

The muddled peach may clog your shaker, in which case you should just open the shaker and pour through a fine mesh strainer. For more rustic drinks, pour the contents of the shaker directly into glasses.

I heard that if you mix flax seeds with an equal amount of water, soak them, and spread them thin, you'll get a tasty cracker. I heard right! These have a nutty, earthy flavor. They're light, but still sturdy enough for dips and spreads. Experiment with other seasonings if you like.
