Sauternes Sunset Bliss

This delightful cocktail, Sauternes Sunset Bliss, features frozen stone fruit cubes, made with juicy peach and apricots, and doused with peach nectar. These fruit cubes are then combined with chilled Sauternes, a luscious dessert wine from western France. As the cubes melt, the plump fruit descends to the bottom of the glass, creating a refreshing and visually appealing drink.
