Grilled Peach Frappé

(6)

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.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh peaches, halved

  • 3 ounce Southern Comfort

  • 2 teaspoon raw sugar

  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime

  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon

  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 cup ice

  • Peaches

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

For a nonalcoholic option, omit Southern Comfort®, increase to 3 peaches and add additional water, if needed to reach desired consistency.
