TIPS & TRICKS
• I make the simple sugar syrup and peach puree ahead of time and store them in glass jars for easy serving.
• Traditionally, this cocktail is made with Prosecco, which I feel can tend to be on the sweeter side. I used a very good quality sparkling wine that was a little more brut, or dry. I thought that the brut flavor profile paired very nicely with the meal.
• This cocktail can also be made in a pitcher for easy serving
