California Peach Frosé Popsicle and Cocktail

Did you know the Popsicle was invented in Oakland back in 1905? This peach frosé version would surely make its inventor proud. A blend of ripe peaches, orange juice and California Rosé freezes into a fruity, wine-spiked treat that’s just as fun on its own as it is dropped into a glass of California Sparkling Wine, where it slowly melts into a sensational cocktail.

Recipe by Meg van der Kruik.

Featuring California Wines

Ingredients

336 g	peeled and sliced ripe peaches, divided
425 ml	California dry rosé
150 ml	freshly squeezed orange juice
30 g	granulated sugar (optional)
	California Sparkling Wine, for serving
	fresh peach slices or orange wheel, for garnish
	1–2 fresh basil leaves per cocktail
	Notes: Ice pops can be made up to 3 months ahead — freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container. If fresh peaches aren't available, use frozen peach slices or one 796 ml jar of sliced California Cling peaches, drained.

Step 1
Purée half of the peach slices with the rosé, orange juice and sugar on high speed in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup; discard any solids.
Step 2
Divide the peach mixture among Popsicle molds, leaving about 2.5 cm of space at the top. Freeze until slightly slushy, about 1 hour.
Step 3
Meanwhile, dice the remaining peach slices into very small pieces.
Step 4
Stir the semi-frozen mixture with a Popsicle stick, then divide the remaining diced peaches among the molds, stirring to incorporate well.
Step 5
Cover the molds, insert sticks, and freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
Step 6
To serve as a cocktail: place a popsicle upside down into a wine glass. Pour 118 ml of California Sparkling Wine into the glass. Garnish with fresh peach slices and/or an orange wheel. Clap 1–2 basil leaves between your palms to release their aroma, then drop them into the glass and serve immediately.
