Peaches--those tart-sweet and succulent ladies of summer--deserve to be used in more than pies; you could throw them into a salad, char them on the grill for dessert, or blitz them into a smoothie.

What we like to talk about on Friday afternoon, though, is booze. And a peach + a couple ounces of rum/wine/whatever your chosen poison = one refreshing summer cocktail. Here are four to try:

Negroni Punch

White Zinfandel Sangria

Fresh Peach Bellini Jelly
