There's something about the combination of peach and basil that just makes sense. Sweet meets fresh, soft meets aromatic and somehow it all comes together in the most effortless way.

A woman with long brown hair wearing a yellow shirt stands in a kitchen, smiling. In front of her are a cocktail shaker, a bottle, a GRATS! box, a bouquet of flowers, lemon, basil, and a small bowl with yellow pieces. A woman with long brown hair smiles while holding a drink with mint and lemon in a glass. She stands in a modern kitchen next to a cream-colored box labeled GRATSI. Flowers are on the counter behind her.

STEP 1

Muddle in the shaker
Add 4 basil leaves, 4-5 peach slices, ½ tbsp lemon juice, and ½ tsp honey to a cocktail shaker. Muddle firmly 10–12 presses until the peach breaks down and basil is fragrant. Don't over-muddle or the basil turns bitter.

A hand using tongs places ice into a glass with orange slices. The glass is on a wooden board beside a halved lemon, a vase of orange tulips, a rustic cutting board, and a GRATSY box. A hand uses tongs to place a green basil leaf into a glass containing orange fruit pieces. The glass sits on a wooden board, with cut lemons, a vase of orange tulips, and a rustic cutting board in the background. A hand uses a gold muddler to crush orange slices and mint leaves in a glass on a wooden board. Nearby are tulips in a vase, a halved lemon, and a box with the word GRATS on it.

STEP 2

Add wine and shake
Pour in about 6 oz of Gratsi White Wine and a small handful of ice. Shake gently 4–5 times just to chill and combine.

STEP 3

Strain
Fill a serving glass with fresh ice. Fine-mesh strain the shaker contents over the ice, leaving a clean, jewel-toned peachy liquid.

A hand drizzles honey from a spoon into a glass containing a yellow mixture, possibly egg yolk. The glass sits on a wooden board beside a sliced lemon and flowers, with a partially visible sign in the background. A hand pours a clear liquid from a glass into a tall glass containing orange pieces. The setup includes a cutting board, a bouquet of orange tulips, halved lemons, and a sliced orange on a marble countertop. A hand pours a drink from a shaker into a glass with ice. Nearby are a cutting board, a vase of orange tulips, lemon halves, an orange slice, and a box labeled GRATS. The scene is set on a marble surface.

STEP 4

Top and garnish
Add a generous splash of sparkling water along the inside edge of the glass. Garnish with a peach slice and stand a basil sprig upright inside the glass. Repeat for all 4 glasses

A hand pours sparkling water from a bottle into a glass with ice and yellow liquid, surrounded by tulips, a sliced lemon, and a peach on a marble counter, with a wooden board and a box labeled GRAB in the background. A yellow cocktail with ice, garnished with an orange slice and mint, sits on a wooden board. Nearby are halved lemons, a peach slice, orange tulips in a vase, a rustic cutting board, and a box labeled “GRATSI.”. A woman in a yellow shirt stands in a kitchen, smiling and holding a cocktail garnished with a basil leaf toward the camera. A flower bouquet and a box labeled “GRATSI” are on the counter.

Note:

For a group, muddle a larger batch of peach and basil in the bottom of a pitcher, add the wine, stir, then fine-mesh strain into a second pitcher before topping with soda and pouring into individual glasses. White peaches are ideal but yellow peaches work great when white aren't in season. Fresh mint can sub for basil if you want a cooler, brighter flavor. A small splash of peach nectar or peach juice adds extra depth if your peaches aren't super ripe.
