Why This Peach Bellini Recipe Works

With just a few ingredients and minimal steps, you can create a sophisticated cocktail in minutes. It is perfect for brunches, lunches, book clubs, or any celebration. The sweet, ripe peach flavor combined with the crisp bubbles of Prosecco creates a perfectly balanced and refreshing drink.

Bellinis are generally considered a low-alcohol cocktail, making them ideal for daytime gatherings and social events. Their light, fruity nature pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, including savory meats, vegetables, and finger foods. They are also a great accompaniment to dinners.

Peach Bellini Recipe Variations

  • Non-Alcoholic Bellini: Substitute sparkling apple cider or sparkling white grape juice for the Prosecco.
  • Fresh Peach Puree: If using fresh peaches, peel and pit them before blending for a smoother texture. You may need to add a splash of simple syrup if the peaches aren’t very sweet.
  • Other Fruit Combinations: Experiment with other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a unique twist.
  • Sparkling Wine Variety: While Prosecco is traditional, feel free to use other dry sparkling wines for slightly different flavor profiles.

Serving Suggestions For This Peach Bellini Recipe

  • Brunch: Pair with light breakfast dishes like quiche, pancakes, or fruit salads.
  • Lunch: Serve alongside light salads, sandwiches, or seafood appetizers.
  • Book Clubs & Friendly Gatherings: This elegant cocktail is perfect for any social gathering.
  • Garnish: Get creative with garnishes! Add a sprig of mint, a raspberry, or a sugared rim for an extra touch.

Directions for Serving a Crowd

  • For larger gatherings, prepare a big batch of the peach puree ahead of time. Keep it chilled, and then simply add the Prosecco when ready to serve.
  • Set up a bellini bar with various garnishes and juices, allowing guests to customize their drinks.

Make-Ahead Directions For This Peach Bellini Recipe

You can prepare the peach puree up to a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Do not add the Prosecco until just before serving to maintain its bubbles.

What is a Bellini?

The Bellini, a classic Italian cocktail, is a celebration of simplicity and flavor. Traditionally, it consists of just two ingredients: Prosecco and peach puree. Originating in Venice, Italy, this light, fruity, and refreshing fizzy beverage is a staple for brunches and pairs beautifully with Italian cuisine. While other sparkling wines can be used, Prosecco’s aromatic, floral, and crisp notes are essential for an authentic Bellini experience.

Bellini vs. Mimosa: What’s the Difference?

Both Bellinis and Mimosas feature sparkling wine, but their key difference lies in the fruit component. Mimosas use orange juice, while Bellinis rely on peach puree. This distinction creates vastly different flavor profiles. While Mimosas are a brunch classic, Bellinis offer a more elegant and sophisticated twist.

Prosecco: The Heart of a Bellini

Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine known for its aromatic, floral, and crisp characteristics. Unlike Champagne, which comes from the Champagne region of France and undergoes a different production process, Prosecco offers a lighter, fruitier profile.

Peach Bellini Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Frozen vs. Fresh Peaches: For ease and consistency, frozen sliced peaches work wonderfully in this recipe. However, fresh peaches can also be used. Simply peel and pit them before blending, and add a few ice cubes for a chilled, smooth consistency.
  • Non-Alcoholic Option: To create a non-alcoholic Bellini, substitute sparkling apple cider or sparkling white grape juice for the Prosecco.
  • Elevate the Experience: Garnish your Bellinis with fresh peach slices, mint sprigs, or raspberries for an extra touch of elegance.

  1. Stacy,
    I’ve not had a bellini since I was in Italy but I may try to make them since this sounds so simple. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Quick question – what do you mean by peach juice? The juice that is in the can with the peaches or is there like a separate bottle that I can buy? Thank you!
