friyay happy hour: just peachy martini
well folks, i am now SUPER pregnant. three things fit me, i’m beginning to waddle and i can no longer “sneak” behind wesley in our little kitchen. and i still have eight weeks of growing to do.
luckily, some joy and relief has been found in my produce store starting to pack with juicy, refreshing summer fruit. stone fruit being among my favorite. nectarines, peaches, plums and pluots are popped in the fridge, and i bust them out in my hottest, hungriest snacking moments.
wes got lucky this friyay because i had some peaches i needed to use before they were over ripped and so this cocktail was born.
pun intended.
just peachy martini
serves: 1 cocktail
prep time: 2-5 minutes
active time: 1 minute
total time: 3-6 minutes
ingredients: 2 oz vodka. .5 oz st. germain. 4 oz peach puree (about 1 peach, blended and strained. if you don’t want to bother with making your peach puree, you can always purchase some peach juice or peach nectar but your cocktail will likely be a bit sweeter) plus a peach wedge for garnish. 3 large sage leaves, smashed and chopped plus a sage sprig for garnish. 1 cup ice. shaker + strainer. martini glass.
if you are going to make your own puree, start there. blend up all but a wedge of your peach.
strain the puree to remove any large chunks and the skin.
then, fill your shaker with ice. pour in the vodka, st. germain, peach puree and all but a few ribbons of your chopped up sage. shake well till the oils from the sage are released and everything is frothy and well combined. about 30 seconds.
strain the contents of your shaker into your martini glass (bonus points if you have time to chill the glass).
garnish with the remaining sage ribbons, the peach wedge and sprig of sage. serve and enjoy.
xo, a
