Frozen Peach Champagne Cocktail (Rachael Ray)

Submitted by Adrienne in Reister

"It's let down your hair, take off your pantyhose, burn your to-do list, have a cocktail because I want one day! Just cuz I said so. With me? Ok...here's a TOTALLY wickedly, sinful delish one for you. I'm putting this recipe up in June but if it were Ground Hog Day we would all be waiting breathlessly for Punxsutawney Phil to emerge from his burrow. If he saw his shadow, we would have six more weeks of winter. I say, let's drink to Phil! Don't look so confused. I'm just carrying on about enjoying life for whatever reason, right? Enjoy this Bellini-esque slush for grown ups!"
