Making a Sparkling Peach Cocktail
Combine peach brandy, nectar, orange and lemon juice, and ice. Add 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of peach brandy, 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of peach nectar, 2 fluid ounces (59 mL) of orange juice, and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Add a few scoops of ice to fill up the shaker. You can find peach nectar at most grocery stores.
Shake the cocktail shaker for 10 to 20 seconds. Put the lid on the cocktail shaker and hold it tightly closed. Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously in front of you to combine the ingredients. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a glass jar with a lid instead.
Strain the ingredients into 2 glasses on ice. Place 2 to 3 ice cubes into 2 cocktail glasses of your choice. Take the lid off of the cocktail shaker and place a strainer on top of it. Pour your ingredients evenly into each glass. Use glass jars for a cute summery cup that looks adorable with your peach drink.
Top off your drink with chilled sparkling wine. Pop open a bottle of sparkling white wine and add enough to fill up each glass. Use a metal spoon or stirrer to combine your ingredients.Tip: Garnish your drinks with a slice of peach for a cute look that matches the flavor and color of your cocktail.
Preparing Peach Rosé Sangria
Slice up 3 fresh peaches and put them into a large pitcher. Use a sharp knife and a cutting board to slice 3 peaches in half. Remove the pits from each peach and then slice the halves into 3 to 4 slices. Put the peach slices into the bottom of a large pitcher. If you don’t have fresh peaches, you can use frozen ones instead.
Add raspberries, peach brandy, rosé, and peach juice to the pitcher. Put 0.5 US pints (240 mL) of fresh raspberries, ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of peach brandy, 1 bottle of rosé wine, and 1 cup (240 mL) of peach juice or nectar into the pitcher. Stir up your ingredients with a wooden spoon.Tip: Substitute white wine for the rosé wine if you’d like a less sweet, more classic tasting sangria. If you don’t have raspberries, use a similar fruit like blackberries or cherries for a different flavor.
Refrigerate your pitcher for at least 1 hour. You can leave your pitcher in the fridge for up to 4 hours if you’d like to wait for your guests to arrive. Chilling your ingredients will make your drinks taste better without watering them down with ice.
Pour your mixture into a few glasses. Set out a few cocktail glasses and pour your mixture into each one. Fill each glass about halfway full. Include some of the peaches and raspberries in each glass for added flavor. You can add ice to your glasses, but it may water down your drinks.
Top off your drinks with sparkling water. Fill your glasses the rest of the way with chilled, unflavored sparkling water for a fizzy finish. Stir the sparkling water into the rest of the ingredients for the best flavor. Garnish your drinks with a slice of peach for an added touch.
Making an Extra Fuzzy Navel
Use a highball drinking glass for a classic fuzzy navel. Highball drinking glasses are tall glass cups that hold slightly less than 1 pint of liquid. Call back to a classic fuzzy navel cocktail by using this glass to make your drink.Tip: If you don’t have a highball glass, use a tall glass jar instead. You can find highball glasses at most bar supply stores.
Combine peach schnapps, peach brandy, and triple sec in your glass. Add 2 shots of peach schnapps, 3 shots of peach brandy, and 1.5 shots of triple sec to your glass. Stir them together with a metal spoon or stirrer. A classic fuzzy navel doesn’t have any peach brandy in it, which is why this drink is “extra fuzzy.”
Stir in orange juice and ice to finish your drink. Top off your drink with half of a glass of chilled orange juice. Add 2 to 3 ice cubes to keep your drink cold and enjoy your extra fuzzy navel. Although this drink doesn’t usually call for garnishes, feel free to add a slice of peach to the rim of your glass for an added touch.
