A Peach Bellini brings the sweet taste of fresh peaches and sparkling prosecco together in one elegant glass.

This simple cocktail takes just 5 minutes to make. You only need 3 ingredients – peach puree, prosecco, and optional peach slices for garnish.

This refreshing Italian cocktail started at Harry’s Bar in Venice during the 1940s. The drink’s peachy pink color matched the orange-pink glow seen in paintings by Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini, giving the cocktail its name.

Perfect for brunch, wedding showers, or warm summer evenings, the Peach Bellini offers a light and bubbly twist on plain champagne or prosecco. The natural sweetness of ripe peaches creates a smooth and balanced flavor that keeps people coming back for more.

Serving Size 5

Equipment

• Champagne flutes
• Blender or food processor
• Fine-mesh strainer
• Mixing spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Sharp knife
• Cutting Board

Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches peeled and pitted
• 1 bottle 750ml chilled Prosecco
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar optional
• Ice cubes for chilling
• Fresh peach slices for garnish

Instructions

• Cut the peeled peaches into chunks and add them to a blender.
• Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp.
• Add lemon juice and sugar (if using) to the peach puree. Mix well.
• Fill each champagne flute 1/3 full with the peach mixture.
• Top slowly with chilled Prosecco, stirring gently to combine.
• Garnish with a fresh peach slice.

Notes

Store extra peach puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

For best results, use yellow peaches that are ripe but still firm.

White peaches can work as a substitute, though they create a milder flavor.

Frozen peaches work in a pinch – thaw them completely before blending.

Skip the sugar if your peaches are very sweet.

Prosecco can be replaced with other sparkling wines, but true Bellinis use Prosecco.

Tasting Notes

This refreshing Bellini bursts with sweet peach flavors and effervescent bubbles. The natural fruit essence combines perfectly with the crisp prosecco, creating a light and balanced cocktail.

The drink starts with bright peach notes that dance on the tongue. Fresh peach puree provides a smooth, natural sweetness without being overly sugary.

Tiny bubbles from the prosecco add a pleasant fizzy texture. The sparkling wine brings subtle hints of apple and pear that complement the peach beautifully.

The finish is clean and crisp with a gentle sweetness that lingers briefly. At 8% alcohol by volume, this cocktail remains light and easy to sip.

Flavor Profile:

• Primary: Fresh peach, stone fruit
• Secondary: Apple, pear
• Finish: Light, crisp, subtly sweet

Mouthfeel:

• Texture: Silky with fine bubbles
• Body: Light to medium
• Sweetness: Medium

The ideal serving temperature is 38-40°F (3-4°C). The cocktail should appear clear with a pale peachy-pink hue and steady stream of small bubbles.

Substitutes

For those who want a non-alcoholic version, replace prosecco with sparkling apple cider or sparkling white grape juice. These options keep the fizzy texture while making the drink family-friendly.

White peach nectar can be swapped with yellow peach nectar or peach puree. Fresh peaches work well too. Blend 2 ripe peaches with 1/4 cup water until smooth.

If peach nectar isn’t available, try these fruit alternatives:

• Mango nectar
• Apricot nectar
• Pear nectar
• Mixed stone fruit puree

Need a different bubbly? Try these instead of prosecco:

• Cava
• Champagne
• Sparkling wine
• Moscato d’Asti

Replace sugar with simple syrup, agave nectar, or honey if needed. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste.

Remember to keep the 2:1 ratio of sparkling wine to fruit nectar when making changes. This helps maintain the proper balance of flavors in the drink.
