“One of our bartenders had used a blend of crème de pêche and menthe-pastille in a cocktail, and someone got overexcited and made 3 quarts of the batch, so we had tons of it left over. I developed this drink so we could use it up. I love the way peach, mint, and dill go together, and Elijah Craig picks up the dill perfectly. For texture and tang, I added Greek yogurt. The name is a nod to the Steve Miller Band, but I also think this drink is way out there.” —JW
