Instructions
Chill the glass: Place a champagne flute in the freezer for a few minutes to ensure it's well-chilled.
Prepare the peach puree: If using fresh peaches, peel and blend 1 ripe peach until smooth. Strain to remove any pulp if desired.
Add peach puree: Pour 2 oz of peach puree into the chilled flute. For a tangier twist, add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Top with prosecco: Slowly pour 4 oz of chilled prosecco into the glass, allowing it to mix gently with the peach puree.
Garnish: Lightly stir to combine, then garnish with a thin peach slice on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your Bellini fresh for the best flavor and effervescence.
Chef's Tips
- Peach Selection: Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. White peaches are traditional, but yellow peaches work well too.
- Prosecco Tip: Choose a dry prosecco to balance the sweetness of the peach puree.
- Make Ahead: Prepare peach puree in advance and store it in the fridge for quick assembly.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute prosecco with sparkling water or ginger ale for a refreshing mocktail.
- Presentation: Serve in a clear glass to showcase the beautiful peach hue.
