Raspberry Prosecco Bellini cocktails bring a fruity twist to the classic Italian drink. This refreshing beverage mixes sweet raspberry puree with bubbly Prosecco for a pretty pink cocktail.

The simple recipe calls for just two main ingredients – raspberry puree and chilled Prosecco.

The drink gets its name from the original peach Bellini created in Venice in the 1940s. Swapping in raspberries gives it a tart berry flavor and vivid color. It’s a popular choice for brunch, parties, or any festive occasion.

Making raspberry Bellinis at home is quick and easy. The cocktails can be mixed individually in flutes or prepared in a pitcher for serving a crowd.

Fresh or frozen raspberries work equally well for the fruit puree base.

Ingredients

For 4 servings:

2 cups fresh raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 bottle 750 ml chilled Prosecco
Fresh raspberries for garnish optional

Use ripe, sweet raspberries for the best flavor. You can swap frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t available. Pick a dry Prosecco to balance the sweetness of the fruit puree.

Instructions

Blend raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
Chill the raspberry puree for at least 30 minutes.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of puree to each champagne flute.

Slowly pour chilled Prosecco into each glass, filling about 3/4 full.
Stir gently to mix the puree and Prosecco.
Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.

Serve right away and enjoy!

The key is to pour the Prosecco slowly to keep the bubbles intact. Stir just enough to blend the flavors without losing the fizz.

Notes

This recipe can be adjusted to taste. Use more or less puree for a stronger or milder raspberry flavor. For a sweeter drink, add extra sugar to the puree.

Make the puree ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. This lets you quickly mix cocktails when guests arrive.

Try other berries like strawberries or blackberries for different flavor combos. You can also use peach puree for a classic Bellini.

For a non-alcoholic version, swap the Prosecco with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
