Once upon a balmy summer evening in a quaint southern town, a bartender named Isabella was inspired by the orchards brimming with ripe peaches. She pondered how to capture the essence of summer in a glass. Remembering a bottle of aged bourbon gifted by her grandfather and a bottle of Prosecco she'd been saving for a special occasion, Lila decided to embark on a cocktail experiment. She muddled the peach, letting its juices blend with the bourbon. A splash of St Germain to capture the floral whispers of summer nights and a dash of lemon to bring out the peach's zest. As she topped it off with Prosecco, the drink came alive, effervescing like a summer’s day. And thus, the Sparkling Bourbon Peach Fizz was born—a tribute to southern orchards and warm summer evenings.
