Peach Bellini

A peach Bellini is a refreshing sparkling cocktail made for brunch! Sweet peach purée pairs perfectly with bubbly prosecco (but we have simple swaps to make it a mocktail, too)!

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe peaches (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled prosecco (see note)

Instructions

  • Begin by making the peach purée (see note). Peel the peaches and cut the flesh away from the stones. Roughly chop the peaches, and add to a blender along with sugar and water. Blend until puréed. (If you would prefer not to peel the peaches, blend well, and strain to remove any remaining bits of peel.) Chill the purée until ready to use.

  • Add a couple of tablespoons of peach purée to a chilled coupe glass. Pour a little prosecco into each glass, stir, and then top up with prosecco. (It’s best to add a small amount of prosecco slowly, stir it into the purée, and then top it up; otherwise, the cocktail will bubble up over the top of the glass.)

Notes

  • Peach purée: Traditionally the peach purée for Bellini cocktails is made from white peaches; however, they can be more difficult to find and yellow peaches work just as well. Four medium-sized peaches will yield 1½ to 2 cups purée, depending on the size of the peaches. 
  • Prep tip: I like to make the purée ahead of time and chill it. It can be refrigerated for three to four days. Be sure to chill the prosecco, too. It's also not a bad idea to pop the coupe glasses into the freezer while you make the purée.
  • Sparkling wine: Prosecco is a standard choice for a Bellini, however, any dry sparkling wine will work perfectly.
  • Make it a mocktail. Use sparkling white grape juice to make a peach Bellini mocktail. Sparkling apple or pear juice also work here— something that won’t muddy the color of the peach purée.
