Cocktail Inspiration:
I was thinking about great women in music and listening to some top female artist playlists while doing R&D. I was inspired by Julie London’s “Make it another old fashioned please” and while looking for female inspired drinks, it was all the same “Sex in the City” type drinks. Whiskey has become very popular among women, along with the Julie London song, so I went with an Old Fashioned riff. The name “Bad Girl’s World” is inspired by “BAD” (meaning bad a**) artists and is a Halestorm song. Frontwoman Lzzy Hale is one of my absolute top female vocalists of all time. She is an inspiration to women and very involved in her community, and extremely outspoken regarding “girl power” and equality for everyone.

Mathias's Tips & Tricks
Tips & Tricks: August is also National peach month, including “Eat a Peach Day” and “Peach Pie Day.” I went with a peach syrup to tie into the month’s theme. For a fun twist, if you’re not a fan of spirit forward drinks, you can take the original recipe, bump up the peach syrup to 1 part and add one part of lemon juice. Shake and strain, and serve long, and even top with a nice wheat beer!
Peach Syrup:
- 3 ripe peaches
- Cup Sugar
- Cup Water
- Cinnamon Stick
- Star Anise Pods
- Vanilla bean, split
Method: Score peaches by slicing and “X” on the bottom. Boil for 1-2 min, then place peaches in ice bath 2-3 min. Peel off the skin and cut around the pit. Dice peeled peaches. Bring Cup of water and sugar to a boil and place in peaches and spices. Remove from heat and let steep for an hour.
When cool, strain and store.
