Earl Grey Infused Peach Bellini

This recipe makes 1 serving.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Earl Grey infused vodka (see below for quick infusion instructions)
• 2 oz fresh peach purée
• 1 oz prosecco or other sparkling wine
• Peach slice for garnish (optional)

For the Earl Grey Infused Vodka (makes about 1 cup):

• 1 cup vodka
• 2 Earl Grey tea bags

Instructions:

1. Make the Earl Grey infused vodka (optional, but recommended): In a clean jar, combine the vodka and Earl Grey tea bags. Seal the jar and let it infuse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. Strain the vodka into a clean bottle and discard the tea bags.

2. Assemble the cocktail: Fill a shaker with ice. Add the Earl Grey infused vodka, peach purée, and a splash of prosecco. Shake well for about 15 seconds.

3. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass. Top with the remaining prosecco.

4. Garnish with a fresh peach slice (optional).

Tips:

• If you don't have time to infuse the vodka, you can use plain vodka and add a splash of Earl Grey tea to the shaker.
• You can adjust the amount of peach purée to your taste preference.
• For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and add an extra few ounces of sparkling white grape juice instead of wine.
• Feel free to experiment with different tea flavors like blackcurrant or raspberry for a unique twist.
• Remember to drink responsibly!
