Can you think of anything more wonderful than gently reclining somewhere in the great outdoors, admiring the view and sipping a peach and raspberry Champagne cocktail? If you're not the outdoor type, just curl up on the sofa and enjoy this delicious cocktail.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches, stoned and quartered
- 400g fresh raspberries, plus a few extra for decoration
- Caster sugar, to taste (optional)
- 3 tbsp raspberry or peach liqueur
- 75cl bottle inexpensive Champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
Method
- 1. Put the fruit into a clean food processor and whizz to a smooth purée. Taste and, if itâ??s quite tart, stir in some sugar according to taste. Push the berry purée through a fine plastic sieve into a small bowl. Stir in the raspberry or peach liqueur. Transfer to a sterilised bottle, then chill for a few hours or until ready to take to the picnic.
- 2. At the picnic, pop a few raspberries into 8 champagne flutes or tall glasses. Add the raspberry purée, carefully pour in the Champagne and gently stir. Serve the cocktail with extra raspberries, if you like.

Chef's tip
The fruit purée is best made on the morning and kept chilled until youâ??re ready to set off for your picnic. For non-drinkers, omit the liqueur and use sparkling water or lemonade instead of Champagne.
