5. Serve immediately in two chilled glasses. For an extra-refreshing presentation, chill the glasses for 5 minutes in the refrigerator at 39 °F / 4 °C before serving.
Chef tips
For a deeper flavor, use frozen cherries and reduce the ice slightly. If the nectarine is very sweet, you can reduce the honey.
Substitutions
Replace the milk with oat or soy milk for a different texture, keeping in mind that allergens and dietary tags will change. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a no-honey version.
