Serves 12 » Adapted from FoodNetwork.com

This refreshing cocktail is great with brunch or as an afternoon aperitif.

Ingredients:
    2 cups sugar
    1 cup water
    1 lb frozen peaches, thawed
    1 teaspoon grated orange peel
    15 oz. bag frozen Wymans Wild Blueberries
    4-6 (750ml) bottles Italia Prosecco or other sparking wine, chilled


Preparation:

Stir the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
Puree the peaches and the orange peel in a blender with 1/2 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer and into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. In a clean blender, puree the blueberries with 1/3 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a clean fine-meshed strainer and into a bowl. Discard the solids and the seeds.
For each serving, pour 2 to 4 tablespoons of the desired fruit puree into a champagne flute. Slowly pour enough Prosecco into the flute to fill. Gently stir to blend.

Do-ahead Tip: The fruit purees can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.
