A Sparkling Peach Bellini is a delightful drink that’s easy to make and perfect for warm-weather celebrations. With its fresh peach flavor and bubbly Prosecco, it’s a refreshing cocktail that’s sure to please.

Ingredients

• 3 medium peaches, halved

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 can (11.3 ounces) peach nectar, chilled

• 2 bottles (750 ml each) champagne or sparkling grape juice, chilled

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with a large piece of heavy-duty foil (about 18×12 in.). Place peach halves, cut sides up, on foil; drizzle with honey. Fold foil over peaches and seal.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Cool completely; remove and discard peels. In a food processor, process peaches until smooth.
• Transfer peach puree to a pitcher. Add the nectar and 1 bottle of champagne; stir until combined. Pour into 12 champagne flutes or wine glasses; top with remaining champagne. Serve immediately.

Notes

• Choose Ripe Peaches: Fresh, juicy peaches give the best flavor. If peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches are a good backup.
• Don’t Skip Chilling: Cold Prosecco keeps the drink refreshing and ensures the bubbles last longer.

It’s rich, creamy, and indulgent, and the espresso shot will keep you energized at events like an office Christmas party. With the CRU Kafe, Food Tube, Drinks Tube, and Food Busker parties coming up, these cocktails will be my go-to for staying lively.

This drink is surprisingly delicious, mixing coffee and vodka in a way that shouldn’t work, but it does. The liqueur adds sweetness, the coffee brings depth, and the vodka gives it a kick. It’s all topped with a thick, creamy froth.

The Espresso Martini is great as a party cocktail, but it’s also perfect as a luxurious after-dinner drink since both the coffee and liqueur help with digestion. If you want to be extra fancy, skip the usual coffee course and go straight for this cocktail to avoid the post-dinner slump that often happens at these events.
