A refreshing peach bellini made with homemade fresh peach puree and sparkling wine, perfect for brunch or casual gatherings. This easy cocktail highlights the natural sweetness and brightness of ripe peaches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) sparkling wine or Prosecco, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or simple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by scoring a small “X” at the bottom and blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off the skins easily. Pit and roughly chop the peaches.
  2. Add the chopped peaches to a blender along with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or simple syrup depending on sweetness. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured.
  3. Optional: Pour the puree through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture, pressing gently with a spoon.
  4. Chill the peach puree in the fridge or add a few ice cubes before mixing.
  5. Fill each champagne flute about halfway with the peach puree. Slowly top with 4-5 ounces (120-150 ml) of chilled sparkling wine per glass. Stir gently once or twice to combine without losing bubbles.
  6. Garnish with a thin slice of peach or a small sprig of mint if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe peaches that yield slightly to the touch for best flavor. Blanch peaches to easily remove skins. Adjust sweetness by tasting the puree before adding honey or syrup. Pour sparkling wine slowly over the back of a spoon to preserve bubbles. Chill glasses before serving for a crisper cocktail. Puree can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. For non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling wine with sparkling water or peach soda.
