Substitute

The classic Bellini uses peach puree. But, canned peaches work well in a pinch. Frozen peaches are another good option when fresh ones aren’t in season.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the prosecco. Then, use sparkling water or sparkling cider instead. The drink keeps its fizzy fun without the alcohol.

If thyme isn’t available, rosemary or basil can add a nice herbal note. Mint also pairs well with peaches for a fresh twist.

Can’t find prosecco? Other sparkling wines work too:

• Champagne
• Cava
• Sparkling wine
• Any dry bubbly wine

White peaches can replace yellow peaches. They have a milder, sweeter taste that some people prefer. Nectarines make a tasty swap too – they’re basically fuzz-free peaches.

For extra sweetness without adding sugar, try a splash of peach nectar or peach juice. This works especially well with tart or underripe peaches.
