Picture this: a warm afternoon, sunlight dappling through the trees, and the gentle clinking of champagne flutes. What’s in those flutes, you ask? Not just any sparkling wine, but a luscious, peachy concoction known as a Bellini. I remember the first time I tried a Bellini at a little cafe in Venice. The vibrant color, the delicate fizz, and the sweet, fruity flavor… it was pure magic! It was like tasting summer in a glass. Inspired by that memory, I've crafted a Bellini recipe that’s so easy, so elegant, and so utterly delicious, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making these all your life. This isn't just any drink; it's an experience. It’s the perfect addition to brunch, a delightful cocktail for a celebration, or simply a treat to brighten up your day. So, gather your ingredients, and let’s bring a little Venetian sunshine into your home!
Now, let's delve into the heart of this delightful drink: the peaches. Using fresh, ripe peaches is the key to achieving that authentic, vibrant flavor. But, let's be real, fresh peaches aren't always in season, are they? Don't worry! Frozen peaches work just as well, and they're incredibly convenient. The secret is to blend them to a smooth purée, creating a luscious base that perfectly complements the bubbly Prosecco. Speaking of Prosecco (or the sparkling alternative), the choice is yours! But let's not underestimate the importance of peach schnapps. This ingredient adds depth to the peach flavor, a touch of sweetness, and a subtle boozy kick. If you do not have peach schnapps, there are some tasty substitutes, as well. These small touches make all the difference in the world.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare your peaches. If you're using fresh peaches, peel and pit them. Roughly chop the peach into smaller pieces – this will help your blender out.
- Add the chopped peaches to your blender. Pulse a few times to start breaking them down, then blend until you have a smooth purée. You might need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is evenly puréed.
- Now, it's time to add a little kick! Pour in the peach schnapps. This adds a lovely depth of peach flavor and a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness of the Prosecco.
- Pulse the blender again briefly to incorporate the schnapps evenly into the peach purée. Be careful not to over-blend; you just want to mix it in.
- Grab your chilled champagne flutes. These elegant glasses not only look great but also help preserve the bubbles in your Bellini.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the peach purée mixture into each flute. Adjust the amount to your preference, depending on how peachy you want your drink to be.
- Slowly top each flute with chilled Prosecco. Pour gently to avoid overflow and to keep the bubbles from fizzing over too quickly. You want a lovely balance of peach and bubbly!
- Give each Bellini a gentle stir with a spoon to combine the purée and Prosecco. This ensures that each sip is perfectly balanced and delicious.
- Garnish each flute with a fresh peach slice for an extra touch of elegance. This not only looks beautiful but also gives your guests a little something to nibble on.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Life's a Peach Prosecco Bellinis! Cheers to good times and great company.
📝 Notes
- For a sweeter Bellini, add a splash of simple syrup to the peach purée.
- Adjust the amount of peach purée to your preference for a stronger or milder peach flavor.
