“Nothing says summer to me like firing up the grill and hanging out with friends and family,” says Sprewell of this drink, which features juicy grilled peach. “This simple, refreshing cocktail is perfect for grilling and chilling out on a hot summer day.”

½ ounce Martini + Rossi Fiero
¾ ounce lemon juice
¾ ounce Demerara Syrup (or simple syrup made with turbinado sugar)
