No.12 Vodka Peach Fizz
Nothing says hot, luscious summer like peaches! We created a mouthwatering mix of peach, fresh thyme, lemon and vodka that you can make ahead and freeze. When ready to serve just spoon over ice and top with sparkling water, dry sparkling wine, or a crisp lager. Two of our favourite pairings were Malivoire Bisous Rosé and Henderson Lagered Blonde – but this is one where you can get creative!
No.12 Frozen Peach Slush
Add to a medium saucepan:
• 125mL honey
• 125mL sugar
• 250mL water
Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and add 12 fresh thyme sprigs and 4 thin-sliced, ripe peaches (no need to peel). Let steep for about 20 minutes until cool, then strain into a large bowl, pressing to extract all of the delicious peach juice. Makes about 500mL.
Add in:
• 500mL Laneway No.12 Vodka
• 200mL fresh- squeezed lemon juice
Stir, then add to a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer. If you are using Ball 473mL freezer jars or similar, it works out perfectly to divide into three jars of 400mL each.
No.12 Vodka Peach Fizz
Each 1 oz of Peach Slush has about 1/2 oz of vodka. If you’re making a drink with a 0% ABV sparkling beverage, we recommend using 2 oz of the mix, or 1 oz if adding to sparkling wine or beer. Just scoop out (or pour –it doesn’t need to be frozen before using) the Peach Slush mix into a glass and top with about 4 oz of your beverage of choice. Add ice and/or garnishes – we recommend peach slices, citrus wheels or fresh herbs.
