Dominick brought home beautiful white peaches yesterday. Of course the first thing that came to my mind was Bellinis! It had been a very long time since having this famous cocktail and we were due for a date!
Luckily we had a bottle of Prosecco chilling in the fridge…and a box grater in the cabinet. We were all set!
We simply shred the unpeeled peaches using the box grater and caught the puree and juice in a dish below.
We mixed one part peach puree with three parts Prosecco.
The peaches were a little tart for our liking so we added 1 tsp of superfine sugar…Perfetto!
It had been a while since enjoying the evening view from our balcony. It was so quiet and still. The fireflies were twinkling, the deer were restless, and my honey was relaxed.
It was a perfect date.
Salute!
