Honey Lavender Peach Mimosa with sous vide honey lavender poached peaches and champagne make a delightful addition to your end-of-summer brunch!
Remember those sous vide peaches from my last post? I thought they would be great in a cocktail, so I made us Honey Lavender Peach Mimosa for Sunday brunch! Although... they do look more like mojitos, don't you think?
Either way, they are the perfect addition to our brunch today, as it is HAWT! I am talking biking a few blocks, getting three shades darker HOT. I don't know if summer is into hockey, but her weather hat trick game is strong! AND I am loving it!
I don't know if I should feel ashamed or proud of the volume of stone fruit I've eaten in the last few weeks. Somewhere along my binge, I developed a couple cankers around my inner lower lip. Painful as they were, I was not deterred. As the saying goes... no pain, no peach? 😉
I made these Honey Lavender Peach Mimosa using some of the sous vide peaches I made in my last post, complete with a little video. They were stupid simple - poached peaches muddled with fresh mint leaves, added some of the honey lavender poaching syrup and topped with champagne.
Sunday brunch = an excuse to get tipsy before five o'clock!
Summer makes her official exit in a few days, so I've packaged up a bunch of the fresh local fruits I love and will miss and have stashed them away in the freezer. They will make their way into smoothies and what not over the winter months.
And because I have inundated you with peach love very late in the game, I am making this my last peach post of the season. But, if peaches are in season in your neck of the woods, you might also want to try them in these or these.
For those of you in my part of the world, I promise I'll be moving on to more fall fare...
