Born and raised in the Deep South, it goes without saying that my favorite fruit is the peach. While Georgia's crop has a legion of fans, let me drop a knowledge bomb on you. The peaches from Chilton County in my home state of Alabama could be the very best.
Fact: There's nothing more delectable than a fresh peach. Also fact: One of the hardest things about being a peach lover is the fact that such a beautiful fruit is only fresh in the dog days of summer.
One of the best ways to get your peach fix during off season is buy buying a bag of Albanese Peach Gummi Rings. You'll recognize them as soon as you see them, because they scream nostalgia. One side resembles the skin of the the fruit, with a mixture of orange and red colors. When you flip it over, it looks like the golden flesh of an actual peach.
Peach lovers, have I got some big news for you! Instagrammer @totallythebombdotcom just revealed a magical new Starbucks secret menu item, which tastes exactly like those peach gummy rings: the "Orange Drink."
Thankfully, she shared how to order the peachy beverage on her website, too. First, you order a Venti sized half-sweet black tea lemonade. Next, you add peach tea and a splash of soy milk. Finally, enjoy over ice.
Do you think it would be peach overload if I ordered a 5-pound box of gummy rings from Target to enjoy with my very first "Orange Drink?"
