Peach Bellini Recipe

Introduction

The Peach Bellini is a refreshing and elegant cocktail perfect for brunch or special occasions. Made with ripe peaches and sparkling Prosecco, it offers a sweet, fruity twist on the classic Italian drink.

Ingredients

• 16 oz ripe peaches
• 1/4 cup honey
• 750 ml Prosecco

Instructions

1. Step 1: Peel the skin off the peaches. Ripe peaches should peel easily by hand, but you can use a vegetable peeler if needed.
2. Step 2: Place the peeled peaches in a blender, add the honey, and blend until completely smooth to make the peach puree.
3. Step 3: If not using immediately, pour the peach puree into an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within one day for best flavor.
4. Step 4: To assemble the Bellini, pour about 1 1/2 ounces of peach puree into each champagne flute.
5. Step 5: Fill each flute halfway with Prosecco, then gently stir to combine the puree and sparkling wine.
6. Step 6: Top off the flute with more Prosecco, garnish with a peach slice if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use very ripe peaches for the sweetest, most flavorful Bellini.
• Substitute honey with simple syrup if you prefer a lighter sweetness.
• For a non-alcoholic version, replace Prosecco with sparkling water or soda.
• Chill the peach puree and Prosecco before mixing to keep the drink refreshingly cold.

Storage

Store leftover peach puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness. Once mixed with Prosecco, the Bellini is best enjoyed immediately and should not be stored or reheated.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Frozen peaches can be used if fresh ripe peaches aren’t available, but thaw and drain excess liquid before blending to avoid a watery puree.

What can I use if I don’t have Prosecco?

You can substitute Prosecco with any dry sparkling white wine or champagne for similar results.
