Peach Bellini
Peach Bellini is a sparkling cocktail made from fresh peeled white peaches pureed and gently mixed with prosecco. It yields a smooth, fruity, and lightly effervescent drink that serves well as a festive brunch beverage or celebratory toast.
Ingredients
- 1 pound white peaches (about 3) peeled.
- 1 bottle prosecco DOC or DOCG
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. With a sharp knife, cut an x in the bottom of each peach.
- When the water comes to a boil. Drop the peaches in the boiling water. After 1 minute, remove the peaches from the boiling water and drop into a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking. This will allow you to remove the skins easily.
- In a food processor or blender, puree the peaches until they are smooth. This should yield about 1 cup of peach puree.
- Pour about 1/2 of the bottle of prosecco into a cocktail shaker or pitcher. Stir in 1 cup of peach puree and gently mix.
- Divide the remaining prosecco between 4 or 5 glasses. Then top with bellini mixture.
Notes
- Frozen white or yellow peaches can replace fresh when not in season.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure cherry juice per glass for a more vibrant peach color.
- Peach purée can be made ahead and kept fresh with addition of a tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Use DOC or DOCG prosecco for best quality in your Bellini.
