Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add the sugar, water, cardamom pods & ginger. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat and cover. Allow to steep for 10 minutes, cool completely. Strain into a clean 1/2 pint mason jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

- Add 1/2 of the peach slices and half of the macerating syrup to 2 old fashioned glasses. Muddle them with a muddler or the stick end of a wooden spoon until the fruit is crushed well. Add 1 teaspoon of bitters to each glass, top with crushed ice to the rim and add 1 shot of bourbon (or more) to each glass. Add a splash of tonic to each, give it a quick stir and serve immediately.
