Equipment

Ingredients

For one Bellini Blush cocktail, you’ll need:

  • 2 ounces fresh peach puree
  • 4 ounces chilled champagne or prosecco
  • 1/4 ounce raspberry liqueur
  • Fresh peach slice for garnish

Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. If peaches aren’t in season, good quality frozen peaches work too. Pick a dry champagne or prosecco to balance the sweetness of the fruit.

Instructions

Make the peach puree:

  • Peel and pit 2-3 ripe peaches
  • Blend until smooth
  • Strain to remove any chunks
  • Add 2 ounces of peach puree to a champagne flute
  • Pour in 1/4 ounce of raspberry liqueur
  • Slowly add 4 ounces of cold champagne or prosecco
  • Stir gently with a spoon to mix
  • Garnish with a fresh peach slice

Serve right away while the drink is cold and bubbly.

    Notes

    Chill the champagne and glasses before making the cocktail
    Use ripe peaches for the best taste
    Make extra peach puree and freeze it for future use
    For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling water instead of champagne
    Try different fruit purees like strawberry or mango for variety

    Tasting Notes

    The Bellini Blush Champagne Cocktail offers a delightful mix of flavors and aromas. Its pale pink color hints at the fruity notes to come.

    The first sip reveals a crisp, bubbly texture from the champagne. This is followed by the sweet, juicy taste of fresh peaches. The peach flavor is not overpowering, but adds a subtle fruitiness.

    A gentle hint of raspberry adds depth and a slight tartness. This balances the sweetness of the peach, creating a well-rounded drink.

    The cocktail has a light, refreshing quality. It’s not too sweet or heavy, making it perfect for sipping on warm days or at festive gatherings.

    The finish is clean and dry, with lingering notes of peach and a subtle warmth from the alcohol. This cocktail pairs well with light appetizers or can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitute

    Can’t find Champagne for your Bellini Blush cocktail? No worries! There are tasty alternatives you can use instead.

    Prosecco is a great swap. It’s an Italian sparkling wine that’s less pricey than Champagne. Prosecco has a light, fruity taste that goes well with peach puree.

    Cava works too. This Spanish bubbly is made like Champagne but costs less. It has a crisp, dry flavor that balances the sweetness of the peach.

    For a non-alcoholic version, try sparkling white grape juice or apple cider. These give a similar fizz without the alcohol.

    Here’s a quick list of substitutes:

    Remember, the key is to pick something bubbly. This keeps the light, fun feel of the original Bellini Blush cocktail.
