This white wine cocktail is a great frozen treat for yourself on a hot summer evening or while entertaining friends. It’s extra fun, super beautiful and tastes refreshingly AMAZING! The combination of ingredients create the perfect blend of flavour and sweetness. I really recommend adding mint as a garnish --- as the drink melts, the mint complements the peach and enhances the flavours.

This recipe does take some time to prepare. I suggest planning ahead by starting to make the simple syrup a day or two in advance.

Step 1: Ingredients

The amount of ingredients noted are for a two serving portion.

Simple Syrup:

½ cup water
½ cup white granulated sugar

Wine/Spirits:

1 cup (250 mL) dry white wine, I prefer Sauvignon Blanc
1 ½ oz. brandy

Fruit:

1 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup (250 mL) frozen peach slices

Garnish:

Mint Sprigs
Straws

Step 2: Supplies

Measuring glass
Small Pot
Spoon
Airtight containers
Shot glass
Blender
Wine glasses

Step 3: Make Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is simple to make!

Put ½ cup water in a small pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Once water comes to a boil, remove from heat and add in ½ cup sugar.

Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Transfer the mixture into a small airtight container. Store in the fridge until chilled.

Notes:

This makes more than is required, but I like to make extra just to have on hand for the another batch of slushies.
You will also need the simple syrup for the next step, so make sure you allow enough time for it to chill.
Alternatively to using a pot, you could boil water in a kettle and add ½ cup boiling water to ½ cup sugar and stir until dissolved.
