The smash family of cocktails dates to the 1860s, described by Jerry Thomas as "simply juleps on a small plan." While whiskey smashes dominate modern menus, peach brandy smashes honor the Southern tradition of peach spirits. Georgia and South Carolina have produced peach brandy since colonial times, and muddling this spirit with fresh lemon and mint creates layers of stone fruit flavor. This drink hits its stride in late summer when peaches peak.
