Good Morning Peach Bellini!

On drinks its about flavor and I look for either great mixers or a mixer I make myself that isn't to much fuss.  Two Items here...I don't like store bought sweet and sour mixes or simple syrups, why? because they are to easy to make and anyone can do it...you just need a few ingredients that most people with have in their pantry and/or fridge.

Homemade Sweet and Sour! you will love this compared to store bought and only takes minutes

Ingredient list
1 Cup water
1 Cup sugar
2/3 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup lime juice

In a small sauce pan warm the water and sugar until it comes to a simmer. Take off heat and cool.
Once cooled add the lemon and lime juice and stir, chill and BOOM!! Sweet and Sour!

Here is a delicious and refreshing morning cocktail great for a Sunday breakfast or brunch!

Here is what you will need...

4 oz Powell & Mahoney Peach Bellini mixer
4 oz your favorite sparkling wine (Piper Sonoma Brut is a good choice) or Prosecco
1 TBSP Sweet and Sour mix (recipe above)
Ice

In a blender add ice and Bellini mixer and blend until a slushy is formed add sweet and sour and pulse 3 or 4 times.
Add sparkling and stir with a spoon and pour into a Champagne flute or white wine glass.

You can garnish with a strawberry or drop in some fresh peach slices. You can also pulse some fresh (ripe) peaches and add to this mix and triple the recipe to make a pitcher to share with friends over brunch!

This recipe can be made with just about anything such as fresh mango puree, peach or mango nectar too. It's simply refreshing! Enjoy!
