Peach and Orange Blossom Spritz

Besides wine, I don’t drink many cocktails except my top favorites – vodka and Fresca, and gin and tonic. Well, then there’s a margarita, and many variations of margaritas. And holiday cocktails are always fun. But at home I drink wine. And when I’m out, I drink wine.

There was an exception recently when my daughter and I were out to lunch. The restaurant offered a drink with Ketel One Peach and Orange Blossom plus orange juice. I was reluctant only because of my distaste for fake flavor, but I ordered one. Then another. Smooth and delicious.

From Ketelone.com: “Ketel One Botanical Peach & Orange Blossom has a refreshingly crisp taste and is for those who enjoy the taste of lush, juicy white peaches and bold notes of fragrant orange blossoms. Ketel One Botanical is more than a liquid. It’s a lifestyle. It’s your delightful, sophisticated choice when you are after a lighter drink option, yet don’t want to compromise on taste.”

I don’t know the recipe for the drink I enjoyed with my daughter, but I’m definitely using this vodka and orange juice. The rest seemed easy – Fresca for bubbly and orange liqueur for sweetness!

I actually had a blossom from a calabacitas bush, thanks to my gardener girlfriend!

This drink is really nice and refreshing.

If you like flavored vodkas, I highly recommend this Ketel One variety.
