Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 (rounded) tablespoon peach jam or preserves
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 ounce vodka (optional)
- 3-4 ounces prosecco, chilled
For Serving
- Basil extra virgin olive oil (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Sliced peaches, for garnish
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or a glass jar, combine the peach jam, white balsamic vinegar, and vodka if using. Shake well to thoroughly blend the flavors.
- Chill the Mixture: Add ice to the shaker or jar and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled mixture into a cocktail glass.
- Top with Prosecco: Pour 3 to 4 ounces of chilled prosecco on top to fill the glass.
- Garnish: Add a small drizzle of basil-infused extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil leaves, and sliced peaches on the rim or inside the drink for garnish and aroma.

Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and use sparkling water instead of prosecco.
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor when garnishing.
- If basil olive oil is unavailable, a small fresh basil leaf garnish alone works well.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of peach jam according to preference.
