Expert Tips for the Best Peach Bellini Cocktail
Thaw the Peaches. If you’re using frozen peaches, I recommend letting them thaw for a bit, just to get rid of any excess water. This step is optional, but I find makes a difference in the overall taste and texture, especially if you want a smooth peach bellini cocktail.
Make Ahead. You can make the peach puree ahead of time. Pour the puree into a jar with an air-tight lid and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Add the prosecco just before serving so the drinks are fresh and bubbly.
Substitutions & Variations
- Make it a frozen peach bellini cocktail. Use frozen peaches, (don’t thaw them), and a little ice for a perfect slushy consistency.
- Non Alcoholic. Make it a mocktail and substitute the prosecco for a seltzer or sparkling water.
- Switch up the fruit. Instead of a peach puree, try strawberry or mango puree for an equally delicious cocktail.
- Add More Peach. If you want more peach flavor, add peach bellini syrup or Peach schnapps for a little alcohol kick.
