Cocktail content from Colorado

Bar-quality drinks with what's already in your kitchen.

Yellow Peaches is Johnny Adair and Zach Lucas, two Colorado bartenders who have built cocktail programs across Boulder County. We share what we've learned behind the bar: how spirits work, how to build a great cocktail, and the techniques bartenders use every shift. Everything is made to be easy and affordable to recreate at home.

What we make

Four kinds of content, one goal

Help you make a better drink tonight without a fancy bar cart or an expensive shopping list.

Spirits 101

What actually separates bourbon from rye, blanco from reposado, and which bottles give you the most for your money.

Home cocktails

Classic and original recipes built from grocery-store ingredients, with a rough cost per drink so you know what you're getting into.

Bartender technique

Shaking, stirring, dilution, and balance. The pro habits that matter most, plus easy swaps when you don't own the gear.

Stories from the bar

The regulars, the rushes, and the lessons. A look at life behind the bar that you won't get from a recipe card.

The team

Who's behind the bar

Two bartenders with years of Boulder County cocktail programs between them, plus a camera to show you how it's done.

Whiskey Pimm's Cup in a tall crystal glass with a strawberry and mint garnish Bourbon · Built · Highball

Whiskey Pimm's Cup

Our bourbon spin on the British summer classic, featured in Whisky Advocate. It's built right in the glass, so you don't need a shaker or any special tools.

~$3.50Per drink
2 minStart to sip
CollinsGlass
  • 1½ ozBourbon (a $25 bottle is plenty)
  • 1 ozPimm's No. 1
  • ½ ozFresh lime juice
  • 3–4 ozGinger beer, chilled
  • 1 + 1Strawberry and a mint sprig to garnish
  1. Fill a tall glass with ice.
  2. Add bourbon, Pimm's, and lime.
  3. Top with ginger beer and give it one gentle stir.
  4. Garnish with a strawberry and a slapped mint sprig.

Can't find Pimm's? Use 1 oz sweet vermouth with a dash of orange juice. It won't be identical, but it hits the same fruity, herbal notes.
