Samantha Nicole You might think the Peach Bellini hails from the Peach State, but in fact, it comes from a medieval Italian recipe. Prosecco is a bubbly dry Italian wine with a cornucopia of sweet fruit flavors. Peaches are beloved in Italy for their sweetness and mild acidity. Together, these two ingredients make Peach Bellini, a truly festive, flavorful beverage fizzing with fruitiness and positively pink with playfulness. No other brew can make you feel so sunny!
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe peaches, plus a few peach slices for garnish, if desired
- 1 bottle Prosecco, chilled
Directions
Step 1 –Peel the peaches and slice them in half, removing the pits.
Step 2 –Put the peeled peaches into a blender or a food processor, and then blend them until it forms a smooth purée.
Step 3 –The peach purée is best when it is served chilled, so put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Step 4 –Once you’re ready to serve, pour 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of the chilled peach purée into each champagne flute.
Step 5 –Pour the chilled Prosecco, being careful not to overflow.
Step 6 –Stir the Prosecco and peach purée until it is mixed.
Step 7 –Garnish the drink with another splash of prosecco and add a peach slice to the rim.
Step 8 –Serve cold!
