Those Summer Nights- Peach Collins

I love summer. And I love peaches. In the summer. And I love drinking. In the summer.
All of those things are stirred up in a cup and create this lovely beverage-

Ingredients.
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup*
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped ripe peaches, divided
  • 1/2 cup peach-flavored vodka
  • 1/2 cup club soda
  • 2 peach slices
Preparation.
1. Mix simple syrup, lemon juice, 1/4 cup peaches, and about 1/2 cup ice in a cocktail shaker or plastic cup. Using the end of a wooden spoon, muddle mixture until peaches start to break up. Pour in vodka, cover shaker with top (or the cup with plastic wrap), and shake until blended.

2. Divide unstrained mixture between 2 tall glasses. Add half the remaining chopped peaches to each, then fill glasses with ice. Top each glass with 1/4 cup club soda and garnish with a peach slice.
