I took the weekend off and
it was GLORIOUS.
I didn’t write a single word
for an article. I cooked a Father’s Day meal and got to relax, sip wine and be
with family. There was not a single worry
about getting recipes down or photographing a dish. Mostly, I was lazy and
unproductive. I loved every minute of it.
Now on Monday morning, as I
look at the week ahead, I thought I might feel panicky or regretful. I don’t. Not
even a little bit. Let’s hear it for weekends off…
Last weekend, I was in a
race to use up a big box of peaches before they went bad. Of course, a few of
them made their way into a cocktail.
Sparkling Vanilla-Peach
Mojitos
Makes 2 cocktails
1 peach
2 tablespoons vanilla bean simple
syrup (recipe below)
2-3 ounces white rum
12 large mint leaves, torn
sparkling wine
ice
Peel and remove pit from peach. Place peach and vanilla simple syrup in a blender and puree. Divide mixture and mint into 2 glasses.
Fill glasses with ice and
add 1-1 ½ ounces rum to each glass (to taste).
Top with sparkling wine.
Note: If you like it minty,
muddle the mint in the peach mixture instead of tearing the leaves.
Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 vanilla bean
Slice vanilla bean down the middle and scape out seeds.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, vanilla bean and seeds.
The vanilla bean simple
syrup makes this drink something special. It’s a flavor you don’t expect in a
cocktail, but works amazingly well with the peach and the mint. This one will definitely
be making another appearance this summer.
I had a similar weekend off and loved every minute of it!
