Just Peachy Cocktail With Cheese Pairings

In the summer, we rarely crave a cocktail that blows us away with intense flavors and sky high alcohol content. It should be crisp and cold, delicate and refreshing, and the Just Peachy Cocktail hits all those marks. Lillet and prosecco will bring a bit of buzz while keeping this a spritz that's afternoon-appropriate. A light floral flavor comes from infusing the Lillet with chamomile, a flavor that's echoed by the peach chamomile preserves. The result is a delightful summer sipper that tastes like pie in a glass.
