Peachy Picnic
The end of summer is near but at least there's one last chance to throw a great party... hello, Labor Day! Planning a boozy brunch, day by the pool, or just a catch up sesh with some friends? Make it easy on yourself with peach cocktails and delicious bites; we're talking under-10-minutes-to-prepare-everything easy.
Over the weekend my friend Danielle from Envision Pretty came over and we put together delectable crostinis and Smirnoff Ice cocktails for a sunset rooftop picnic. It was kind of romantic...
... and oh-so pretty! To make it simple we went with ingredients that could do double duty (peaches & goat cheese).
First up: the drannks.

1 part Smirnoff Ice Peach Bellini
1 part extra dry champagne
Peach slices
Smirnoff Ice Peach Bellini is pretty delicious but as you can suspect, very sweet. Adding the extra dry champagne cuts that sweetness and creates a refreshing concoction with a hint of peach. They also look beautiful!
Next up is fig and goat cheese crostinis. When figs are in season this is just one of my favorite ways to eat them, the other is in an arugula salad with prosciutto and goat cheese! #yum

brioche toast from Trader Joes
goat cheese + a few tbsps of half & half = delicious whipped goat cheese
black figs
garnish with honey & thyme
The half & half adds a fluffy touch, kind of like milk in omelets. Once you've created the whipped goat cheese then also use it on the peach and prosciutto crostinis:

If you're a prosciutto lover like myself then this crostini tastes like heaven!

Excuse me while I go pull out some leftovers. Cheers to a fabulous last week of summer!
