This Peach Bellini Recipe Will Become Your Go-To Brunch Cocktail. You can enjoy a peach Bellini any time of year, but it’s especially popular during the warm summer months when white peaches are in season. Here’s how to make a peach Bellini so you can whisk yourself away to the Italian coast, or impress your guests at your next brunch party.
Tip
Chill your Champagne flutes ahead of time so your drink stays colder for longer.
If you’re buying peach purée, opt for one without added sugar as this could throw off the flavor of the cocktail.
A Bellini is traditionally made with Prosecco, but you can also use a sparkling white wine that isn’t too sweet, such as Cava, or even a dry sparkling rosé.
Ingredients
2 ounces peach purée
4 ounces prosecco
Garnish with 1 peach slice, sprig of mint, or lemon twist (optional)
1-2 servings
Directions
Gather your ingredients. Traditional Bellini recipes call for homemade peach purée made from fresh, ripe white peaches, but you can also take the store-bought route, according to Traynor. This will save you a couple of minutes if you’re in a pinch.
You’ll also need a bottle of Prosecco or another sparkling white wine—preferably one that isn’t too sweet. A dry sparkling rosé or Cava are the perfect bubbly beverages to use in place of Prosecco, notes Traynor. You can also opt for a non-alcoholic alternative, if desired.
If you’re making homemade peach purée, rinse and peel your fresh, ripe white peaches. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to remove the skin, but be careful not to chip away at the flesh. Chop the peaches, transfer them to a mixing bowl, and muddle them to create fresh peach purée.
When pouring a Bellini, the ideal ratio of peach purée to Processo is 1:2, so measure out your ingredients to get the right proportions. Remove your chilled Champagne flutes from the refrigerator and add the peach purée to the bottom. Top off the flute with the chilled Prosecco. Tilt the glass and pour slowly so the wine doesn’t spill over the top.
For garnish, Traynor recommends a sliced peach, sprig of mint, or lemon twist. Cheers!
