Peach Sips

Amanda Harper

 

Peach Bellini

1 peach, peeled and diced

8 fresh raspberries

1/2 c. water

1 bottle Prosecco, chilled

 

 In a blender, puree peach, raspberries and water. Press mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove raspberry seeds. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

To serve, pour 2 ounces of puree into a champagne flute. Top with Prosecco, and stir gently. (adapted from Pinch and Swirl)

Note: to reduce foam, open your Prosecco 15 minutes before serving. Feel free to garnish with a fresh slice of peach!

 

Peach Margaritas

3 oz. tequila

2 oz. Cointreau

2 oz. fresh lime juice

1 c. sliced peaches

1 T simple syrup

1 c. ice

 

Blend ingredients until combined to your desired consistency; a little less time will result in a slushier margarita while longer will make the consistency thinner and more sippable.

If desired, run a slice of lime along the edge of your glass, then dip in salt. Garnish each glass with a slice of lime or peach. (adapted from A Couple Cooks)

Note: For a fun twist, stir a few chopped basil leaves into the mixture before serving, then garnish each glass with a fresh basil leaf. This will offer a fresh, bright, summery taste your guests will adore!

 

Peach Sangria

1 bottle Sauvignon Blanc

1/4 c. peach schnapps

1/4 c. peach nectar

1/4 c. sugar

sliced peaches

mixed berries

seltzer

 

In a large pitcher, combine wine, peach schnapps, peach nectar and sugar. Stir to combine. Let sit in the fridge at least 2 hours before serving.

Add sliced peaches and desired mixed berries to the pitcher just before serving.

To serve, fill a glass with ice, fill glass to 2/3 full with sangria, then top with seltzer. (adapted from The Novice Chef)

Note: Flavored seltzer will obviously add a little more flavor to the mix.
We won’t tell anyone if you want to use peach-flavored hard seltzer to add the bubbles to your glass! ;)
