What it is
This is a non-alcoholic beverage made from the juice of peaches, carbonated to give it a fizzy quality. It captures the sweet and slightly tart flavor of ripe peaches.

Pour it into a chilled glass to appreciate its bubbles. It is best served very cold, so keep it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can also use it as a component in various drinks.
