Continuation of the interview.

This recipe is perfect for summer entertaining. It looks gorgeous in a large glass pitcher, and it’s delicious and so summery. Add a tapas platter with some Spanish cheeses, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and some spicy toasted almonds then watch the sunset in style.

3 white peachs or, preferably, nectarines, thinly sliced
1 thinly sliced green apple
2 cups white peach puree or juice, found in the freezer section of better quality supermarkets or peel and puree fresh peaches in the blender to make your own
1 bottle crisp white wine, viognier suggested
½ cup grand marnier or triple sec
½ cup brandy
¼ cup fresh mint leaves

Combine all ingredients in large pitcher at least two hours before serving to let flavors mingle. Serve in tall glasses with fruit over ice.
Substituting club soda for the white wine, and fresh orange juice for the grand marnier and brandy makes a fantastic alcohol free version.
