Raspberry Prosecco Bellini Cocktail Recipe

ByJohn

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:

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.

    Tasting Notes

    The Raspberry Prosecco Bellini offers a delightful mix of flavors. It has a sweet and fruity taste from the raspberry puree. The Prosecco adds a crisp, bubbly element.

    The drink has a light pink color. It looks pretty in a tall glass. The smell is fresh and fruity. You can catch hints of raspberry and peach.

    When you sip it, you’ll notice:

    • A bright, tangy raspberry flavor
    • Light bubbles from the Prosecco
    • A smooth, creamy texture
    • A sweet finish with a slight tartness

    The cocktail is not too strong. It’s refreshing and easy to drink. The flavors blend well together. No single taste overpowers the others.

    This Bellini works well as a brunch drink. It’s also nice for parties or warm days. The taste is fun and festive without being too heavy.

    Must Have Ingredients

    Substitute

    Can’t find raspberries or Prosecco? No problem. There are tasty alternatives for this cocktail.

    Instead of raspberries, try strawberries or peaches. These fruits blend well and give a similar sweet flavor. Frozen fruit works too if fresh isn’t available.

    For the bubbly part, swap Prosecco with other sparkling wines. Cava or Champagne are good choices. Even sparkling cider can work for a non-alcoholic version.

    Don’t have a blender?

    Mash the fruit by hand with a fork. Then shake it with some ice and strain into glasses before adding the sparkling wine.

    Here’s a quick list of substitutes:

    With these options, you can still enjoy a fruity, fizzy drink even without the exact ingredients.
