Here’s how to make a peach bellini! This sparkling Italian cocktail pairs peach puree and Prosecco for bubbly fresh flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the peach puree

  • 3 large ripe peaches or 1 pound frozen peaches (makes enough for 6 drinks or 1 bottle of Prosecco)*

For each bellini

  • 2 ounces (1/4 cup) peach puree
  • 4 ounces (1/2 cup) Prosecco (6 servings in bottle)
  • For the garnish: peach slice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the peach puree: If using fresh peaches, peel them according to How to Peel Peaches. Then slice them in half and and use your fingers to pull out the pits. Puree the peaches in a food processor or blender until a smooth puree forms. Taste and if your peaches aren’t perfectly ripe and sweet, add a little sugar, honey or maple syrup, then blend again. Refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
  2. To make a bellini: Add the peach puree to a champagne flute or glass. Add a splash of Prosecco and stir gently to combine. Then add the remaining Prosecco. Garnish with a peach slice.

Notes

*Traditionally white peaches are used in an Italian bellini, but you can use any variety of peach.
