  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of champagne, ¼ cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of peach puree.
  6. Gradually add the wet mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about ⅔ full with the batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
