Peach–and–Lemon Verbena Bellinis

The Bellini was invented in 1943 by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry’s Bar in Venice. Chris Cosentino, the chef at San Francisco’s Incanto, spikes his version with muddled leaves of fresh lemon verbena, a potent summer herb.

The lemon verbena doesn't really muddle.  But still delicious.
