It's Monday... Ugh! I hope we all can make it till 5:00 Happy Hour! Over the weekend, I came up with a fab new cocktail recipe. It's a bit like a white sangria but the parts are separate, so it can be adjusted to individual tastes. It uses fresh peaches which are in season now. Be sure to pick peaches that are firm to the touch. You don't want them to fall apart in your drink. Hope you enjoy!
Peach Wine Spritzers
2 firm peaches
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 cup brandy
1 bottle reisling wine
1 bottle diet lemon lime soda (or seltzer water if you find the diet soda to sweet for your taste)
Peel and slice peaches. Place in a glass bowl and cover with sugar. Toss to coat. Cover with brandy. Chill for at least 30 minutes. When ready to serve, place 3-4 peach slices in a wine glass ( I also added a spoonful of the sugared brandy from the bowl.), fill glass half full with reisling, top off with diet lemon lime soda or seltzer water, and a few ice cubes.
IF there are peaches left over soaking in the brandy, I recommend eating them. They are delicious! However, driving may be a bad idea...
