Peaches and Bubbly

August 28, 2014

We are hanging onto the last moments of summer with this Peaches and Bubbly Cocktail:: Peaches and Bubbly ::

I am hanging onto every ounce and last minute of summer with this Peaches and Bubbly cocktail.  No I don’t want to, do I have to wake up early and rush around? I am craving a routine, but honestly I hate the beginning of the school year.  Adjusting is something I never do well with, so I am going to hide behind my crate of peaches and this pretty summer bottle of Chandon….

Peaches and Bubbly Cocktail

Bubbles make everyone happy and peaches are synonymous with summer, so I combined the two and a made a happy end of summer drink! Why so many drinks lately? To be honest with you, I lost half of our month of August with my husband away at the wildfires up in Northern California.

With his arrival home we celebrated with a night away.  I have had to catch up on some lost time so I have made a few fun cocktails to say goodbye to carefree summer days and hello to beautiful fall school days ahead.

Peaches and Bubbly Cocktail

Peaches and Bubbly really celebrates the last of this summer stone fruit.  Topped with champagne this simple peach mixture is easy to make and can be created a few days in advance so that it is on hand for this weekend’s last minute barbecues to celebrate Labor Day.
