Happy Friday! This week, I was lucky enough to visit the ultra-cool candy store, Sugarfina. I’m pretty sure the store was made just for me… Based in Beverly Hills, this candy store prepackages all of their goodies and sells them in adorable bento boxes. You can either fill the box yourself, or pick from one of their already-packaged boxes. They had boxes for weddings, thank you’s, congratulatory gifts, and even “will you be my bridesmaid” boxes! And, of course, they had coordinating Rifle Paper Co. cards to go along with every theme. What’s not to love?!
As a “welcome to blogging gift,” my momma got me the Cheers box set, which comes filled with cocktail inspired gummies, including champagne-infused bears, peach bellini hearts, and little nonpareil-covered champagne ‘bubbles’. If you don’t live near a Sugarfina and want to make your own cocktail bears at home, try these recipes!
Since it’s Friday, I figured what better way to celebrate than to make a champagne cocktail to go with these perfect treats? So I crafted up a little peach/champagne/vodka delight that’s sure to kick your weekend off with just the right bit of class and fun. The recipe can be made easily with peach flavored champagne, or if you’re looking for a little more ‘craft cocktail’ style, try regular champagne with peach puree or schnapps. If using peach champagne, eliminate the puree and simple syrup.
Peach Champagne Cocktail (serves 2)
2 oz. Vodka
2 oz. peach puree (or schnapps)
1 oz. Simple Syrup (optional)
12 oz. Champagne
Ice
Peach for garnish
Put vodka, peach puree, and simple syrup in shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into two glasses. Top with champagne and peach for garnish.
