Instructions

Prepare the peaches

Peel and pit the ripe peaches, then cut them into chunks.

Pro tip: Using very ripe peaches will enhance the sweetness of the puree.

Make the peach puree

In a blender, combine peach chunks, lemon juice, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

Pro tip: Strain the puree through a sieve for a smoother texture.

Chill the glasses

Place martini glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to chill.

Pro tip: This step ensures that the drink stays cold longer.

Mix the cocktail

In a shaker, combine vodka, 2 teaspoons of peach puree, and a handful of ice. Shake well.

Pro tip: For a stronger peach flavour, add more puree to taste.

Pour the drink

Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glasses.

Pro tip: Hold the ice back with the strainer to avoid diluting the drink.

Top with prosecco

Gently pour chilled prosecco over the peach vodka mix in each glass.

Pro tip: Pour slowly to maintain the bubbles and avoid spilling.

Garnish and serve

Garnish each glass with a slice of peach on the rim and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Use a fresh or frozen peach slice as a garnish for added visual appeal.
