Tasting Notes
The Frozen Peach Fizz is smooth, cold, and fruit-forward with just the right touch of sparkle. The frozen peaches and peach liqueur bring rich stone fruit flavor, while a splash of simple syrup rounds it out with gentle sweetness. Champagne cuts through with crisp acidity and bubbles, offering a refreshing contrast to the frozen texture. Grenadine adds color and subtle berry notes that settle beautifully into the base of the drink. Every sip balances soft fruit, chilled fizz, and a lightly sweet finish perfect for hot days or festive occasions where something frosty and celebratory is in order.
Equipment and Glassware
You’ll need a blender to achieve a smooth frozen texture for the peach base. A measuring jigger ensures accurate pours, while a bar spoon is helpful for layering the grenadine and gently stirring in the champagne. Serve the cocktail in a rocks glass to contain the frozen mixture and allow the layered presentation to show through. A straw can be added for easier sipping, especially if the drink is thick. This cocktail’s simplicity makes it easy to prepare for groups with minimal gear beyond the blender.
