Though created in jest as an alternative to the ubiquitous frosé, friesling—a frozen, riesling-based drink—can nonetheless be both balanced and delicious. Here, peach-infused vodka adds a slight fruity kick to the simple recipe.

Editor's Note
Peach-Infused Vodka:
300ml vodka
1-3 white peaches
Pour the vodka into a pint-sized jar. Add peach slices to the jar until its full. Cover and let sit for 1 to 3 days (the longer it sits, the stronger the flavor will get.) Strain out the solids before use.
