Ingredients
- Vanilla Brûlée Syrup
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon McCormick® All Natural Pure Vanilla Extract
- Peach Brûlée
- 1 medium peach, cut into 8 wedges
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Peach and Vanilla Brûlée Cocktail
- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 For the Vanilla Brûlée Syrup, mix 1/4 cup of the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the water in small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook on medium heat 5 minutes or until the syrup is a dark caramel color, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup water. Once the mixture is no longer steaming, add remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Cook and stir on medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Stir in vanilla. Set aside.
- 2 For the Peach Brûlée, toss peach wedges and sugar in medium bowl until well coated. Arrange peaches in single layer on large shallow foil-lined baking pan. Brûlée or broil one side of each peach wedge 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.
- 3 For the Peach and Vanilla Brûlée Cocktail, mix 4 of the brûléed peach wedges, peach schnapps and lemon juice in large cocktail shaker. Top with ice and heavy cream. Cover and shake until well mixed and chilled. Strain into 4 cocktail glasses. Garnish the rim of each glass with a remaining brûléed peach wedge. Slowly pour about 1/4 cup of the Vanilla Brûlée Syrup over each peach wedge and into the glass. (The syrup will sink to the bottom of the glass.)
