Bellinitini

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 4 packets Sweet’N Low® zero calorie sweetener
• 1 (15-ounce) can sliced cling peaches in fruit juice
• 1 1/2 ounces chilled vodka
• 4 ounces chilled brut champagne

Preparation

Serve this golden cocktail while watching the Academy Awards or to celebrate any special occasion. Creating your own peach juice using canned peaches, you avoid added sugar and get the most fruit flavor. It also gives this sparkling drink a winning glow.

Drain the peaches and whirl them in a food processor to a velvet-smooth puree. Strain the puree in a fine strainer set over a bowl, using the back of a wooden spoon to press the fruit so it releases juice into the bowl. Add the lemon juice and 4 packets Sweet’N Low® to the peach juice. There will be 1/2 cup, enough to make 4 cocktails. The pulp remaining in the strainer will resemble apple sauce. Mix it with Sweet’N Low and serve as dessert or use it in a smoothie.

Pour 1 ounce of the peach juice into the bottom of a chilled champagne coup or 10-ounce martini glass. Add the vodka. Top off with the champagne.
