Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peach puree (thawed if frozen)
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
- Optional: 1 teaspoon simple syrup or sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the peach puree. If using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and blend them until completely smooth. If using frozen peaches, blend them until smooth, adding a tiny splash of water if needed to start the blender.
- Chill your serving glasses, such as champagne flutes, in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
- If your puree is not sweet enough, stir in simple syrup or sugar until you reach your desired sweetness level.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of the peach puree into the bottom of each chilled flute.
- Slowly top the puree with the chilled Prosecco. Pour gently down the side of the glass to maintain the bubbles.
- Stir very lightly once to combine the layers. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For an easy variation, try a Strawberry Bellini by substituting strawberry puree for peach puree.
- To make this a low-alcohol drink, use a non-alcoholic sparkling wine instead of Prosecco.
- If you want a festive touch for holidays, add a splash of raspberry liqueur to the peach puree before adding the Prosecco.
