Blood Orange Peach Two Ways
Festive cocktails are a must for a Friendsgiving—even a virtual one—and these come together in no time thanks to Gaby Dalkin’s original mix. Inspired by the classic spritz, the cookbook author and founder of the site What’s Gaby Cooking created a vibrant blend of peaches, blood oranges, lemons and a bit of agave syrup for natural sweetness. Here she uses the mix to stir up two refreshing drinks that are just right for autumn sipping.
