Seaside Frivolity Cocktail Recipe featuring Cocchi Americano Rosa, Old Tom Gin, & Peach Liqueur

The Seaside Frivolity takes you to a leisurely afternoon at the shore— those relaxed summer days that stretch into warm, lingering evenings. Take a bite of a juicy peach and savor its sweet flavor.

If you're the kind of cocktail enthusiast who loves discovering new spirits and unexpected combinations, this playful blend is right up your alley.

The drink features Cocchi Americano Rosa, an aperitif from Piemonte that combines the delicate notes of Brachetto d’Acqui wine—think fresh-picked berries and subtle white rose—with hints of ginger. It's gently bitter yet floral, adding depth while staying bright and approachable. Paired with Hayman’s Old Tom Gin, this cocktail showcases a classic, slightly sweeter gin style that highlights juniper and cinnamon botanicals. Its rounded profile lends the drink an inviting warmth that balances the brighter, fruit-driven elements.

Rothman & Winter Orchard Peach Liqueur rounds out the list of spirits. Peach is a less common flavor when mixing cocktails, but there's not a better time to indulge than summer. This Austrian-made liqueur—crafted from regional peach varieties and fresh eau-de-vie—delivers fragrant, ripe peach flavor balanced by a natural, subtle acidity. 

Finally, fresh orange juice and a touch of grenadine amplify the cocktail’s lush, juicy character.

Served tall over ice, the Seaside Frivolity invites you to slow down, wriggle your toes in the sand, explore new flavors, and savor the fleeting sweetness of peach season.
