Grilled Peach Frappe
Grilled peaches lend their slightly smoky, beautifully caramelized flavor to these sweetly complex frappes. Citrus and Southern Comfort add brightness and warmth. You may want to make a double batch of this enticing cocktail! When grilling peaches, choose peaches that are ripe, but not too ripe. Super-soft fruit will turn to mush on the grill.

Grilled Peach Frappe
Directions
- Grill peach halves on the rack of an uncovered charcoal grill, directly over medium coals, for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Midway through grilling, rotate peaches one-quarter turn to create crosshatch marks, "essential for best flavor," Steve says. (For a gas grill: Preheat grill, then reduce heat to medium. Grill peaches on rack over heat. Cover; grill as above.) Remove from heat; cool. Slip off peach skin, using a peeler if necessary.
- In a blender container, combine peaches and remaining ingredients, except ice. Cover and blend on high for 20 seconds; add ice and blend until smooth. Serve at once in chilled glasses. Top each with a slice or two of fresh peach. Makes 4 cocktails.
