Peach Fizz!

Peach Fizz! Or as some bartenders call them Peach Bellini are great at wedding or pre-wedding events like showers or brunches. And summer time is the perfect time to get great peach taste from those fresh picked peaches. When I first looked at this photo I thought--Peach Beer (well it does look like beer in a champagne glass you have to admit!) but then I read further and found it was Peach Bellini with a lot of fizz. So I promptly renamed them Peach Fizz--because that's what they look like.

 

CHOW, a great foodie site, has a great recipe for them but you can probably find recipes for them on a variety of sites.  Ingredients include fresh peaches, peach liqueur, lemon juice, sparkling wine and sugar as needed. For exact recipe head to CHOW (they have lots of other great ideas for your wedding shower or brunch too!

 

Bellini are the perfect drink to serve your guests at any summer event.
