Instructions

1
Make the puree: Slice the peaches, and blend thoroughly in a blender. You will have about 1 1⁄2 cups of puree, which makes about 10 cocktails. If not using right away, the puree can be frozen in an ice cube tray then stored in an airtight container in the freezer to be used for individual cocktails in the future.
2
Combine the peach puree and brandy in a flute, top with sparkling wine, and serve.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Peel and pit peaches while fresh, then blend immediately for the smoothest puree with no separation.
Freeze puree in ice cube trays for portion control—each cube equals roughly one cocktail's worth of puree.
Use a high-quality peach brandy to achieve the intended intensified sweetness and depth.
Chill your flute glasses before serving to keep the cocktail cold longer.

Substitutions

Prosecco → Champagne or Cava (drier sparkling wines work equally well)
White peach puree → Yellow peach or yellow peach nectar (slightly less delicate, more robust peach flavor)
Peach brandy → Peach schnapps (lighter flavor; use slightly less and adjust sweetness)

Storage & make-ahead

Frozen peach puree keeps in an airtight container for several months; thaw at room temperature before use. Prepared cocktails should be consumed immediately.
