Storage and reheating tips
While Peach Mimosas are best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover peach nectar in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, once you mix the nectar with sparkling wine, it’s best consumed right away. The bubbles will lose their fizz over time, diminishing the joy of sipping on this delightful drink.

If peaches are out of season, frozen peaches can be a great alternative; just ensure to thaw and blend them, adding a bit of sugar if needed. For an adult twist, consider adding a splash of peach liqueur for boosted flavor.
