The Becky-Lini

Oh yes, I have a signature drink. When we got married, we had about 40 bottles of cheap champagne leftover... What to do with them? Make Bellinis! However, the Bellini recipe we found online was horrible, so we dumped the blender, and made our own concoction! Not truly potent (you can pump this up by adding an extra shot of vodka or rum), but tasty and great for getting a little buzz during parades!

The Becky-Lini

1 bottle of champagne. Quality not important, as long as it is alcoholic
Fine sugar. You can use natural sugar if you like, but blend it extra
1 bag of frozen peaches
2 shots of vodka or rum. Don’t skimp here
ice

Put half the bag of peaches, about 1/8c sugar, 1 shot vodka/rum, and a handful and a half of ice in a blender. Top to fill line with champagne. BLEND. When a nice smooth consistency (you may have to stir it a few times), taste for sugar, and adjust sweetness to taste if needed. Pour into a jug/pitcher. Repeat with the rest of the peaches, alcohol, and another dose of sugar. Fill jug again. Cart carefully to your nearest parade route and enjoy!
