1

Chill glass and ingredients

Place a champagne flute (or coupe) in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while preparing the other elements. Ensure the prosecco and peach nectar are well chilled.

2

Prepare peach nectar

If using commercial peach nectar, stir or gently shake the bottle to recombine any settled solids. If you prefer a fresher fruit-forward version and have ripe peaches, you can blend 1 medium peeled peach with 3 oz strained water and a tiny pinch of sugar then strain to yield approximately 3 oz of nectar — adjust sweetness to taste.

3

Build the Bellini

Remove ice from the chilled glass if used. Pour 3 oz peach nectar into the flute. If using the optional lemon juice for brightness, add 1/4 tsp now and gently swirl to combine.

4

Top with prosecco

Slowly pour 3 oz well-chilled prosecco down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and help with gentle mixing. Pouring slowly minimizes foaming and preserves effervescence.

5

Adjust and garnish

Taste briefly and, if needed, add a splash more peach nectar for a sweeter, fruit-forward profile or a few more drops of lemon for brightness. Garnish with a thin peach slice on the rim or a floating sliver in the glass.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while the drink is chilled and effervescent. Enjoy responsibly.
