Of all the 4th of July cocktails, this is perhaps the sweetest and perfect for the ladies looking to dance the night away! And it could not be easier to make either. You literally need 6 pitted peaches, ΒΌ cup of fine sugar, a bottle of Prosecco and a cup of water... and that's all!

Mix all of the ingredients, apart from the lemon slices, in a pitcher and stir well, then divide it between 4 to 6 glasses and add a lemon slice to each. You can serve it right away so you can just make up the 4th of July drinks as and when you need them! Perfect!
