Method

Bellini Mixer

  1. 1

    Make peach purée

    Combine the chopped ripe peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cold water in a blender or food processor. Purée until completely smooth, about 30–45 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding up to 1 additional tablespoon sugar if needed.

  2. 2

    Strain (optional)

    For an extra-silky Bellini, press the purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spoon to help. You should end up with roughly 1 to 1 1/4 cups of smooth peach purée. Discard remaining solids or save for another use.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the purée and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours). Cold purée integrates better with sparkling wine and prevents foaming overmuch.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 4

    Prep glassware

    If serving immediately, chill flute or stemmed wine glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice for a few minutes then discard ice. Have Prosecco and purée cold.

  2. 5

    Optional Aperol spritz base

    If making a Peach Bellini Spritz (with a slightly bitter, orange note), pour 15 ml (1/2 oz) Aperol into each glass before adding purée. For a stronger spritz, use up to 30 ml (1 oz) Aperol per glass. This step is optional—classic Bellini omits Aperol.

  3. 6

    Combine purée and sparkling wine

    Pour about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons (roughly 25–30 ml) of the chilled peach purée into each chilled flute. Slowly top each glass with 4–5 ounces (120–150 ml) of cold Prosecco, pouring gently down the side to preserve bubbles. Use a bar spoon to stir once gently if needed to integrate; avoid vigorous stirring to retain effervescence.

  4. 7

    Top and adjust

    If making the spritz variation, add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) club soda to each glass to lighten the drink. Taste and add a tiny extra dash of purée if you prefer it fruitier.

  5. 8

    Garnish and serve

    Garnish each glass with a fresh peach slice on the rim and a mint sprig if using. Serve immediately while bubbly. If serving pitchers: combine purée and Prosecco gently in a chilled pitcher, stir once, then ladle into glasses and top each with a splash of club soda if desired.
