• 1/4 cup peach schnapps
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled Champagne or sparkling white wine

• 1 cup small ice cubes
• Peach slices, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Blend peaches, peach schnapps, 2 tablespoons Champagne, the sugar, and ice in a blender until smooth. Divide mixture between 2 glasses; top off each glass with 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Champagne, and serve.
