A Toast to Champagne

By JESSICA FARTHING

With a storied history, exclusive production process and world-renowned flavor, it's no wonder that the sparkling beverage is more popular than ever.

YOU WANNA PEACH OF ME

Noelle Verrusio shares the recipe for this fan-favorite drink served inside Camellias, the Hotel Bennett's signature champagne bar. The cocktail is loosely based on an Aperol Spritz, a summer classic. Once known as an "Italian sunset in a glass", the hotel's version might be more akin to a southern summer sunset served in a swanky spot.

2oz fresh peach puree

2oz Aperol

1/2oz fresh squeezed lemon juice

3oz champagne

Start by carefully filling a wine glass with crushed ice, and carefully layer the peach puree, Aperol, and lemon. Champagne is poured slowly over the top, and the drink is carefully stirred to incorporate all the flavors. Garnish with a hefty slice of orange and a few edible flowers and you've got a peach of drink you won't soon forget.
