Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries and high-quality peach puree.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup.
- If peach puree is unavailable, blend fresh peaches until smooth as a substitute.
- Serve the cocktail in chilled glasses to keep it cool longer.
- To make a frozen version, blend all ingredients with crushed ice instead of shaking.
