Made this with Moscato and added apricot brandy and a little bourbon. Incredible.
How is this--as written--"fizzy"?
With peach being a somewhat subtle flavor, and whole blueberries not able to add much in terms of taste, we felt the alcohol flavor was a bit overpowering for the fruit. We added a bit of lemonade and some pineapple juice, which seemed to create a better balance.
Very attractive, summery look.
I made this with a couple of edits. I cut the sugar to 1/4 cup, added 1/4 cup brandy and a 1/4 cup triple sec, juice from one large lemon and a drizzle of cherry juice from my luxardo cherry jar. Delish. Many compliments. I used a bottle of pino Grigio and 1/2 bottle of Chardonnay.
Contrarian note: I suppose this depends on both your peaches & tastebuds, but ½c of sugar is WAY too much. Also, the 2tbsp extra is annoyingly precious. I used ¼c agave nectar, which was perfect. A dry rosé worked well & provided a pleasant, peachy hue.
Made a half recipe, with three peaches in the overnight soak, and a full sliced peach added the next day. Used a nice vintage California Sonoma Chardonnay that had been exposed to a bit of accidental heat. Tasted very good. Only ‘mistake’ was ignoring the instruction to strain the mixture before refrigerating. Just being lazy. But the final product was not as visually pleasing as it should have been. Live and learn for next time!
