No need to wait until peach season! This Frozen Peach Bellini is made with frozen peaches and is just as delicious. Perfect to toast the New Year in grand style!
As 2017 approaches its end, I’m feeling all kinds of emotions. I’m excited for 2018 and everything the future will bring, but I’m just not ready to let 2017 go yet. This year was the best year of my life, because it brought me our wonderful little girl (that is now my whole world)! It was also full of pain, tears and sleepless nights, but I wouldn’t change a thing. In fact, I’d happily relive it all again, trying to complain less and enjoy more every single second. Rebecca will never be that little again and that is so bittersweet! Yes, I’m happy that she’s big and healthy and I’m so looking forward to all the milestones, like her first word, first crawl and first tooth. But I will always miss those first months! They went by as a lightning and feel like a blur because of the exhaustion. So, yeah… 2017 made the list of years to remember. And an awesome year needs a good send off, so I’m celebrating with this delicious and refreshing Frozen Peach Bellini!
This cocktail is foolproof, so no need to freak out about your bartending skills! And if you thought that peach bellini was a summertime exclusive, think again. With the addition of frozen peaches, you get to make this easy and refreshing cocktail all year round! Bubbly and bright to ring in the new year, but also fruity and light for the next day’s brunch or Rose Parade viewing party.
Every year, on January 1st, the world focuses its attention on Pasadena, California, to watch the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. It’s a celebration more than a century old, a festival of flowers, music and sports unequaled anywhere else in the world. It’s a greeting to the world on the first day of the year and a salute to the community spirit and love of pageantry that have thrived in Pasadena for more than 100 years. 2018’s theme is “Making a Difference”, celebrating acts of kindness that enrich the lives of others and are a source of hope and inspiration for everyone.
My favorite frozen peach brand, Dole, is participating for its 8th year in the parade. This year’s float – “Sharing Nature’s Bounty” – celebrates their passion for improving communities, the environment and its commitment to sustainability. It is no secret that Dole strives to provide healthy food products that are accessible to all, year-round throughout the country. I’m excited to see their float and how they’ve incorporated this year’s theme into it!
If you are planning on watching the Rose Parade, make sure to meet me on Instagram – with a Frozen Peach Bellini on hand (mandatory!) – to cyber watch it together. It’s going to be peachy! 🍑😉
