Peachy Keen Recipe

1 drink5 minutesCopper mug or highball glassVodka

Make a Peachy Keen with exact single-serve ingredients and method, plus a pitcher version and the Craft Standard build for serving it on tap.

The short answer

A Peachy Keen combines peach vodka (like deep eddy or even fancier kettle peach), strawberry, and triple sec in a zesty, gingery and refreshing mule. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.

Substitutions

  • No strawberry syrup? Muddle 4–6 fresh strawberries with 1/4 oz simple syrup, then fine-strain the drink.
  • Use ginger ale for a softer, sweeter drink, or a hot ginger beer for more bite.

Make a pitcher

8 cocktails
  • 12 oz Peach Vodka (like Deep eddy OR even fancier kettle peach)
  • 2 oz Strawberry Syrup
  • 2 oz Triple Sec
  • 4 oz fresh lime juice
  • 24 oz (3 cups) ginger beer

For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.

Want to make it at scale?

Making one Peachy Keen is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Mule keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.
