Recipe: Milestone's Bellini (Very Similar Recipe)

While their menu and web page claims "A cool blend of Lamb's white rum, peach liqueur and champagne, topped with sangria" we discovered that the "peach liqueur" is actually peach drink flavour crystals mixed with 7-Up.

So, for those of you playing at home (as I will be this weekend having picked up my Lipton's peach crystals), the recipe is:

9 parts 7-Up mixed with peach crystals (frozen beforehand)
12 parts champagne

4 parts white rum
"Sangria" topping (red wine, 7-Up, brandy, orange juice)

Milestones mix it all up in a slushy/slur-pee machine and slurp it out into a martini glass, then pour the sangria around the edge, and top with a plastic monkey (if available). The sangria goes slushy too, and brain- and stomach-freeze soon follow.

Another comment:
Served some up last night in a normal blender. Worked a treat. Just put the pre-frozen 7Up/peach mix straight into the blender, add the booze and blend away. Comes out smooth and icy, and has the trademark brain-freeze effect.
