Tasting Notes
The Beachfront Bellini offers a bright, peachy aroma with hints of fresh citrus. The first sip reveals sweet white peach flavors balanced by the crisp, bubbly prosecco.
Fresh fruit notes dance on the tongue, creating a light and refreshing experience. The drink maintains a smooth texture with tiny bubbles that add a gentle fizz.
The natural peach puree gives a soft, velvety mouthfeel that complements the wine’s dryness. No artificial flavors needed – pure fruit essence shines through.
Flavor Profile:
- Primary: White peach, nectarine
- Secondary: Citrus zest, honey
- Finish: Clean, crisp bubbles
The cocktail leaves a clean, fruity finish that doesn’t linger too long. Perfect for warm days, this drink stays light and fresh from start to finish.
The ideal serving temperature is 38-40°F (3-4°C). At this temperature, the bubbles remain lively and the fruit flavors stay vibrant without becoming too sweet.
Substitute
Can’t find peach puree or prosecco for your Bellini? No problem. Several tasty alternatives exist for this beach-themed cocktail.
Peach Puree Substitutes:
- Canned peaches (blended until smooth)
- Peach nectar
- Store-bought peach juice
- White peach puree
Prosecco Alternatives:
- Spanish Cava
- French Crémant
- American sparkling wine
- Champagne
The drink can also work with frozen peaches. Simply blend 2 cups of thawed frozen peaches with 1 tablespoon of sugar until smooth.
For a non-alcoholic version, mix peach puree with sparkling water or ginger ale.
The ratio remains the same: 2 parts sparkling beverage to 1 part peach mixture.
White grape juice mixed with a splash of club soda creates another alcohol-free option that keeps the drink’s light and bubbly character.
