Chandon Luscious Peach

Thousands of years before they were grown in California, peaches were native to China. According to legend, the gods owed their immortality to the orange and yellow fruit. The peach tree put forth leaves once every thousand years, and the fruit required another three thousand years to ripen. You can make a Chandon Lucious Peach cocktail in about three minutes. And while it may not make you immortal, it will certainly add life to your party.
