Growing up in the South, I can tell you that nothing said summertime better than peach season. From peach iced tea to peach cobbler, these sweet little fruits are in their prime during the summer months, meaning there’s also no better time to take advantage of them than now.

And there’s no better way to kick off your weekend than with a sparkling peach libation!

One of which you can find right outside of Boston. Fish Restaurant and Wine Bar in Marlborough is serving up a special summertime peach cocktail, appropriately named The Southern Belle. This libation, concocted by the restaurant’s Sommelier and GM Ian Nal, combines fresh local peaches, Sweet Tea Vodka and sparkling wine.

And for those unable to travel to Fish Restaurant, you can also make the fruity cocktail right at home. Below, find the recipe for The Southern Belle libation. Cheers!
