Peach Bellini Blaster Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- A cocktail shaker is my go-to for mixing everything up.
- Sometimes I grab a bar spoon, but a regular spoon does the job if that’s all I have.
- For measuring, a jigger or even a shot glass works fine.
- I like using a strainer to keep the ice out of my glass.
- Champagne flutes or wine glasses are my favorites for serving,
- but honestly, any glass will do in a pinch.
- If I feel like getting fancy, I’ll use a little plate or bowl to make a sugar rim.
- A sharp knife and cutting board are helpful if I want a fresh peach garnish.
Ingredients
- The ingredient list is short which I appreciate. Here’s what I use:
- 2 ounces peach puree fresh or store-bought
- 1 ounce peach schnapps
- 1 ounce vodka
- 3 ounces sparkling wine or prosecco
- ½ ounce lemon juice optional, for brightness
- Sugar for rimming the glass, optional
- Fresh peach slice or mint sprig for garnish, optional
Instructions
- I start by chilling my glass for a few minutes in the freezer. If I’m in the mood, I run a lemon wedge around the rim and dip it in sugar for a sweet edge.
- Into the shaker goes the peach puree, schnapps, vodka, and lemon juice. I add ice—about halfway up—pop on the lid, and give it a good shake for 10 seconds or so.
- I strain that mix into the cold glass, leaving some room at the top. Then I pour in the sparkling wine slowly, so it doesn’t foam over everywhere.
- Sometimes I’ll give it a gentle stir, sometimes not. I’ll add a peach slice or mint for garnish if I’m feeling extra. It’s best served right away so it keeps all that fizz.

Tasting Notes
First sip, and I always notice the gentle fizz from the sparkling wine. Those bubbles make it feel lively—kind of wakes up your taste buds.
The color is light, kind of a soft orange-pink from the peach puree. Usually there’s a bit of foam on top after pouring, which looks pretty inviting.
The peach flavor is definitely front and center. It’s sweet, but not in-your-face or overwhelming. The sparkling wine adds a crispness that balances it out, so it never feels syrupy.
If I add lemon, there’s a nice little zing at the end. Makes the finish feel extra fresh.
The aftertaste is clean—sweetness fades fast, so it doesn’t get cloying. I think the Peach Bellini Blaster is best in smaller glasses or flutes, just because it feels lighter that way.
Chilled, it goes down easy. It’s the kind of drink you want to keep sipping.
Texture Notes:
- Bubbly
- Smooth
- Not thick or syrupy
There’s something about the cold and the fizz that makes this cocktail especially refreshing. Can’t really beat it on a hot day.
Substitute
When I don’t have peach schnapps on hand, I usually reach for apricot brandy or even just plain vodka. Honestly, both keep the drink smooth—maybe not identical, but close enough for me.
Sometimes, fresh peaches just aren’t in season, so I go with canned or frozen slices. If you can, grab canned peaches packed in juice instead of syrup—they taste way more like the real thing.
If Prosecco’s missing from my fridge, I just use another sparkling wine. Or, if I want to skip the booze, club soda does the trick for a lighter, non-alcoholic version.
And a few more thoughts, if you’re feeling creative:
- Lemon juice can totally stand in for lime juice when you want some tartness.
- If you’re after something sweeter, a splash of simple syrup or peach nectar does wonders.
- Not into sweet drinks? Just pick a dry sparkling wine instead of a sweet one.
