The classic Peach Bellini combines fresh peach puree with sparkling Prosecco wine for a light and refreshing cocktail perfect for brunch or celebrations.
Peel and pit the peaches, then cut them into small chunks.
Place peach chunks in a blender and blend until smooth.
Strain the peach puree through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp.
Add 1 oz (2 tablespoons) of peach puree to each champagne flute.
Slowly pour chilled Prosecco into each glass, filling about 3/4 full.
Stir gently with a mixing spoon to combine.
Garnish with a fresh peach slice.
Notes
Keep peach puree and Prosecco well-chilled before mixing. The puree can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.Fresh peaches work best, but frozen peaches can work in a pinch. Avoid canned peaches as they're too sweet.For best results, use a dry Prosecco rather than sweet varieties. This balances the natural sweetness of the peaches.Each bottle of Prosecco makes about 6-8 cocktails.
