Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz chilled Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
- 2 oz fresh peach puree (from ripe peaches)
- 1/4 oz peach schnapps (optional, for intensity)
Instructions
- Chill your champagne flutes thoroughly before starting.
- Prepare the peach puree by blending ripe peaches until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids for a silky texture.
- If using, pour the peach schnapps into the bottom of each chilled flute.
- Gently pour the peach puree over the schnapps.
- Slowly top with the chilled Prosecco. Pour down the side of the glass to maintain carbonation.
- Serve immediately. Do not stir; allow the layers to naturally blend for the classic gradient effect.
Notes
- For an easy 3-ingredient version, skip the peach schnapps and use only peach puree and Prosecco.
- Use very cold Prosecco; chilling the ingredients is key to a good Bellini.
- For a Strawberry Bellini variation, substitute the peach puree with fresh strawberry puree.
- If making a large batch for a party, mix the puree and schnapps ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Add the Prosecco just before serving.
