Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Peach Purée

    If you don't have pre-made peach purée, blend fresh or frozen peaches until smooth. Strain to remove any solids if desired.

  2. 2

    Chill the Glass

    Place your serving glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of peach liqueur, 2 dashes of aromatic bitters, and 1 oz of peach purée. Fill the shaker with ice.

  2. 4

    Shake

    Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 5

    Strain

    Strain the mixture into a chilled serving glass, preferably a flute or coupe.

Finishing Touch

  1. 6

    Top with Sparkling Wine

    Carefully top the strained mixture with 4 oz of brut sparkling wine, pouring gently to maintain the bubbles.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    If desired, garnish with fresh peach slices and mint leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
