Sparkling Peach Bellini

Better than any mimosa, this Sparkling Peach Bellini is your new go-to for lazy mornings. It’s light, bubbly, and made with just two main ingredients—perfect for sipping with friends. Plus, it comes together in five minutes flat!

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

• Canned peach slices in syrup – 1 can (15 oz)
• Prosecco – 1 bottle (750 ml), chilled
• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

Instructions

1. Drain the canned peach slices, reserving 2 tablespoons of the syrup if you'd like a sweeter drink.
2. Place the drained peaches into a blender.
3. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
4. For an ultra-smooth texture, press the purée through a fine-mesh sieve with a spatula. This step removes any stringy bits.

6. If you want a sweeter bellini, stir in the reserved syrup to taste.
7. Chill your champagne flutes in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving. This keeps the drink extra cold and bubbly.
8. Divide the peach purée evenly among the chilled glasses, about ¼ cup per glass.
9. Slowly pour the chilled Prosecco into each glass, tilting the glass slightly to preserve carbonation. Fill to the rim.
10. Gently stir with a cocktail spoon just to combine.
11. Garnish each glass with a thin peach slice or a mint sprig.
12. Serve immediately before the bubbles fade.

Just one sip and you'll taste why this is the ultimate brunch cocktail. The creamy peach purée balances the crisp bubbles perfectly. Serve it in a tall flute for a festive touch, or add a splash of peach schnapps for an extra kick.

Peach Margarita

Kicking off summer with a frosty Peach Margarita! This blender drink is sweet, tangy, and super easy—just a few ingredients and you're set for a fiesta.

Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

For the Margarita

• Canned peach slices (drained) – 1 can (15 oz)

For the Rim

• Salt – for rimming (use coarse kosher salt for best crunch)

2. In a blender, combine the drained canned peach slices, tequila, lime juice, and ice. Blend on high until completely smooth and slushy, about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. Tip: For a thicker texture, freeze the canned peaches beforehand or add an extra handful of ice.

Oh, get ready for a cocktail that feels like a warm hug! This Spiced Peach Old Fashioned uses canned peach syrup for sweetness and a cinnamon stick for that cozy spice. It's a simple upgrade to the classic, perfect for any season.

Serving: 1 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

Ingredients

• Light rum – ½ cup
• Fresh lime juice – ¼ cup

Ditch the plain old julep and try this peachy twist. Using canned peach syrup adds a sweet, summery flavor that pairs perfectly with bourbon and fresh mint. It's an easy, refreshing cocktail for any warm evening.

Serving: 1 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes

2. Pour in the lemonade and stir until combined with the peach juice. (Tip: For best results, use chilled lemonade and club soda to avoid diluting the spritzer with extra ice.)
