There’s something about the summer that makes a nice refreshing cocktail even more appealing. Hitch and I had dinner plans with my Mama a few nights ago, and considered heading out for cocktails beforehand, but then decided we could have just as good (or better) at home! Here’s the super simple recipe for the bellinis we made. They’re lovely and fresh, and not too sweet :)

INGREDIENTS
makes 3 cocktails

2 peaches, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon sugar
dash of cointreau
bottle of champagne or sparkling wine, chilled

DIRECTIONS

Peel, pit, and chop the peaches. Place them into the blender, along with the sugar and cointreau, and blend until completely smooth.

Divide the puree between three glasses, and top up with bubbly.

Garnish with a peach slice, and enjoy!
