Ingredients

2 ripe peaches, peeled, halved and stone removed, or the equivalent using tinned peaches in natural juice
chilled champagne or sparkling wine
2 chilled champagne glasses

Place the peaches in a small blender and purée until totally smooth. This can be done well in advance and kept in the fridge. Spoon half into the chilled champagne glasses and slowly top up with champagne, stirring as you pour. You should ideally have one third peach purée to two thirds champagne. Serve straight away as a pre-dinner drink with the Cupid's Caviar, leaving plenty of time for a second glass each.

The Famous Bellini Cocktail: A Sparkling Brunch Favorite

3 mins
Prep: 3 mins,
Cook: 0 mins
Yield: 1 cocktail (1 serving)

The Bellini is a popular sparkling wine cocktail and a perfect way to make your favorite wine a little peachy. The recipe is very easy and the drink is a lot of fun to share.

The story behind the Bellini is that is was created in the 1930s or 40s at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani. It was named after the Italian renaissance painter, Giovanni Bellini.

Originally, the Bellini used sparkling Italian wine, particularly Prosecco, and it is still made that way in Italy. Elsewhere, it is often made with Champagne, though almost any sparkling wine will do.

Tip: You will often find that Prosecco costs less than Champagne, so you can be true to the original Bellini while saving a few bucks.

The Bellini is a popular drink for brunch and if you want something a little more innocent, try the Baby Bellini.

What You'll Need

2 ounces peach juice (or puree, nectar)
4 ounces sparkling wine (Prosecco or Champagne)

How to Make It

Pour the peach juice into a Champagne flute.
Slowly top with sparkling wine.

5 Peachy Tips for Making a Great Bellini

When it comes to the peach ingredient, you have a few options. Peach juice would be the first choice, though if you cannot find that, I would recommend a peach nectar. The nectar is available at many grocers and can often be found in the juice aisle.

Use fresh peaches when possible. During peach season, there is no reason to buy a packaged peach product and you can enjoy the freshest Bellinis during those few months of summer (June through August is best).

For an interesting twist, choose a selection of peach varieties and combine them into a juice or puree.

Don't forget to save a few slices for a garnish. Either cut a slit in each slice and rest them on the rim of each glass or drop a slice inside the flute and pour the drink on top.

If you opt for the second option, quickly dunk each slice in lemon juice to prevent it from browning and toss them into the freezer for an hour or two. To keep the fruit from freezing together, place them in a single layer on a plate or another flat surface. When it's Bellini time, you'll have frozen fruit to keep your drinks cold with no dilution.

Fresh peach juice is easy. If you have an electric juicer, simply slice and pit your peaches and process them into juice. Be sure to remove the pit first, though you can leave the skin as it is edible. It's also a good idea to strain the juice to make sure your drink is free of chunks.

Got a blender? Make a peach puree. It is also very easy to make a fresh peach puree at home and all you really need is a blender or food processor. Again, wash, pit, and slice your peaches, then blend them up until smooth. If you like, add a teaspoon each of sugar and lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Be sure to strain your puree to remove any large bits of fruit.

Storing your puree or juice. In general, your homemade peach puree or juice should be good in the refrigerator for up to one week in a well-sealed container, particularly if you add a dash of lemon juice to act as a preservative.

Peach schnapps? You can absolutely skip all of the other peach ingredients and simply pour a shot of peach schnapps into your glass. It will make your Bellinis a little stronger than intended, but it's still mild and you will definitely have no problem finding schnapps.

How Strong Is the Bellini?

The Bellini is such a great brunch drink because it is light on the alcohol. It is really no stronger than the average glass of sparkling wine, even a little less because of the peach juice. On average, with an 11 percent ABV Prosecco, the Bellini weighs in at 7 percent ABV (14 proof).

Now, if you opt for the schnapps (average 24 percent ABV), you're looking at about 15 percent ABV (30 proof). That's still at very mild in comparison to other cocktails.

Kitchen classics: bellini cocktail

12:01AM GMT 04 Dec 2004

Xanthe Clay takes a fresh look at favourite recipes. This week: the bellini cocktail

Elegant, scented and gently sparkling, a good bellini is a fine drink. Nothing more than white peach purée and prosecco, it's one of the best cocktails to knock up at home.

Yes, I've been to Harry's Bar in Venice, the home of the original bellini, invented there by the legendary barman Giuseppe Cipriani. It was a bit of a disappointment - the drink, not the restaurant. A small tumbler, only two-thirds full, was plonked down in front of me. The drink was pleasant enough, but the thick-rimmed glass, and price tag, took the edge off my pleasure. Make your own, in a proper Champagne flute, and you'll do better.

Prosecco every time. A mild Italian sparkling wine, it's the right base for delicate fruit. Cocktail bars over here almost always use Champagne, which has a much stronger flavour. It overpowers the peach, so you have to add more purée, and end up with a cloying, alcoholic fruit smoothie. Prosecco isn't just better, it's also much cheaper.

Prosecco is easy to find - even the supermarkets have it. Perfectly fresh and ripe white peaches are another matter, even in the height of summer. Barmen use ready-made purées, which are so good that swanky restaurants rely on them all year round. I love the frozen purée made by Boiron, but you'll have to sweet talk your local barman into ordering you a 1kg block (about £6). Use any leftover purée to make a sublime sorbet.

La Fruitière makes a sweeter but still excellent version in pouches. They're also available only to the trade, but Oakleaf European can supply 1kg pouches for £4.25, and for £5 per order will deliver overnight (call 01202 393311 or check www.oakleaf-european.co.uk for other goodies).

Those of you within striking distance of Harvey Nichols or Selfridges can buy Funkin peach purée at £3.95 for 300g (mail order 020 8953 9751 or go to www.funkin.co.uk).

Best alternative Bellinis

It doesn't have to be just peach, whatever the purists say. Try adding a few drops of orange flower water for extra fragrance, or use non-acidic, scented, mild-flavoured fruits such as lychees and apricots. Best of all is puréed ripe mango.

Best to mix with Champagne

Acidic, flavoursome fruits such as oranges and passion fruit need the kick of Champagne - try the raspberry cocktail below.

These amounts are a guideline and depend on the flavour of the ingredients and the size of the Champagne glass. Go easy on the peach - it should add subtle flavour, not substance.

A chilled Champagne flute
1 tbsp chilled white peach purée
Chilled prosecco

Put the peach purée in the bottom of the Champagne flute and half fill with prosecco. Stir well, allow the froth to subside, then top up with the prosecco.

Raspberry Champagne Cocktail

If it has to be Champagne, try this, as made by Henry Harris, chef at Racine restaurant. It's a very Christmassy red colour, and tastes fabulous.

1 tbsp raspberry purée (made with sieved frozen or fresh raspberries)
A few drops crème de framboise (raspberry liqueur, available from off-licences)
Chilled Champagne

Mix the purée and crème de framboise in the bottom of a Champagne flute, then top up with Champagne, stirring as you pour.

Bellini, the classic champagne cocktail

THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE.

As you might guess from the name, the Bellini is an Italian classic. The original recipe came from Venice and was simply two parts Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine) to one part white peach puree with a touch of raspberry or cherry juice, which gave the drink a unique translucent pink hue.

Since then, the recipe has developed a number of variations, largely because white peaches weren’t available everywhere at all times. Now you can buy bottled peach puree specially made for Bellinis, or you can use canned fruit to make a puree yourself. I’ve included the standard recipe (peach puree + Prosecco) along with a version that uses fresh or canned fruit ingredients.

The Bellini is a delicious alternative to the ever-popular Mimosa, especially if you’re wanting something other than orange juice. The peach puree is relatively unique, with a less tangy flavor than orange juice. It’s light and delicate, and goes with almost anything. It’s an ideal brunch drink, but it’s just as delicious served at a dinner party as a light drink guests can enjoy with appetizers or finger foods.

Bellini Cocktail Recipe
- 1 tablespoon white peach puree
- Fill with Prosecco
The classic Bellini recipe is very simple. Just put one tablespoon of white peach puree into the bottom of a chilled flute glass. Now fill the glass slowly with Prosecco or champagne so it stirs up the puree.

Bellini for 2 (without fresh fruit)

If you haven’t got access to peaches and raspberries to puree, here’s a version of the drink that uses all bottled and canned ingredients. Remember: this one will pack a much bigger alcohol wallop than the traditional version.
- 2 ounces of peach nectar
- 1 ounce peach schnapps
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 ounces of chilled Prosecco
Mix everything but the champagne together in a chilled flute glass. Add the champagne, stir and serve for two.

Raspberry Bellini: A Champagne Cocktail with Fresh Berries
- 3 mins
- Prep: 3 mins,
- Cook: 0 mins
- Yield: 1 serving
The Raspberry Bellini is a nice little Champagne cocktail. It is a twist between the simplistic styling of the Champagne Cocktail and the fruity Bellini.

In the Raspberry Bellini, Merino mixes the Brazilian rum, cachaça with fresh raspberries, a hint of lime and just a touch of sugar. It is very simple to mix up, yet the taste will impress anyone.

This is one of those great brunch-worthy cocktails that you can mix up in minutes. It is best during the summer months when the berries are at their peak and better still if they come straight from your own raspberry patch.

What You'll Need
- 2 ounces cachaca (Leblon)
- 1 tablespoon raspberries (or more to taste)
- Dash of lime juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar (superfine)
- 4 oz Champagne (or amount desired)
How to Make It
1. Muddle the raspberries, sugar and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Fill with ice and add cachaca.
3. Shake vigorously.
4. Strain into a Champagne flute.
5. Top with Champagne.
Recipe Courtesy: Junior Merino for Leblon Cachaca

Tips for Making a Great Raspberry Bellini

If you have yet to taste cachaça, this is a perfect cocktail introduction. It is very similar in profile to the spirit's most famous drink, the Caipirinha.

Both drinks are very clean and rely on fresh fruits, which is really where this style of rum shines.

Leblon is one of the most popular cachaças available in the U.S. and should not be hard to find for most drinkers. If you get the chance, explore other brands as well because there are some very interesting options out there.

If, by chance, you do not have or cannot find cachaça, use a good rum instead. Also, this cocktail is a perfect base for your favorite vodka.

There are many bottles of Champagne to choose from. Quite honestly, you probably cannot go wrong with any of them in this Raspberry Bellini recipe.

Deciphering Champagne labels can be tricky. Most importantly, know that 'brut' means the wine has a drier profile while those with the word 'sec' will be sweeter.

I have tried both dry and sweet Champagnes in this recipe and both finish the drink off nicely.

Fresh raspberries are not your only option here. If it is the dead of winter, dig into your stash of berries in the freezer and let them thaw before adding them to the cocktail.

On the other hand, fresh lime juice is going to make a superior Raspberry Bellini. The great news is that the citrus fruit can be found year-round. Sure the price and quality change, but they are there and many of the bottled juices are going to add too much sweetness to the drink.

The average lime holds between 1/2 and 1 ounce of juice, which is far more than the recipe calls for. If you want to get technical, a 'dash' is right around 1/32 ounce (or 1/5 teaspoon).

Juice your lime into a separate glass and pour just a 'dash' into the shaker. There is really no need to measure this one!

Just a Hint of Sweetness

Go easy on the sugar! Remember that rums are sugar-based liquors and cachaça is made from pure sugar cane. There is no need to add more than a dash of sugar, particularly if you are using a sec or demi-sec Champagne.

Superfine sugar is recommended because the crystals are a little smaller than granulated sugar. This makes it a just a little bit easier to dissolve in the drink. In a pinch, use your kitchen sugar and all will be fine.

If you like, go with simple syrup rather than straight sugar. Depending on how concentrated your syrup is, just a dash will do. At times, I may even call the perfect measurement a 'drizzle' depending on the wine and rum.

How Strong is the Raspberry Bellini?

Leblon is an 80-proof cachaca and if we were to use a 12% ABV Champagne, the Raspberry Bellini would be a relatively mild drink. We could estimate it to be about 18% ABV (36 proof) with a 4-ounce wine pour.

I made these refreshing Peach Bellinis using SPLENDA® Brand Sweeteners as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps

Georgia may officially be known as The Peach State, but the real peach state in the southeast is South Carolina. South Carolina is second only to California in peach production and we have peach farms galore in our neck of the woods.

During the summer months, with an abundance of fresh peaches available, I like to think of as many ways as I can to use them. As much as I love cobblers, there are only so many cobblers you can eat in a summer.

This June has been one of the hottest on record and one of my favorite ways to cool off is with an icy cold mocktail.

These Frozen Peach Bellinis are a delicious blend of peaches (I used fresh, but freeze them briefly to make a super cold and refreshing drink), sparkling apple juice, SPLENDA® Sugar Blend, and a little lime juice to balance the sweetness.

You get all the flavor and bubbly goodness of a bellini without the alcohol so your kids can enjoy them too.

A cold, fruity, sweet drink really helps during those dog days of summer. And with the bubbliness of these bellinis, they are perfect for a special occasion or 4th of July celebration.

Using SPLENDA® Sugar Blend really helps reduce the amount of sugar in these drinks. SPLENDA® Sugar Blend is a combination of sugar and SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener and it can be used in pretty much any recipe that calls for sweetness. Baked goods, sweet and spicy recipes, smoothies, and beverages- you name it. It has twice the sweetness of just plain sugar so you’ll use half the amount called for in a recipe. If a recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, you’ll use 1/2 cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend.

SPLENDA® Sugar Blend offers the sweetness of sugar without all the calories. Making Sweet Swaps like using SPLENDA® Sugar Blend means you can enjoy your favorite sweet treats all summer long with none of the guilt.

Beat the heat with a Frozen Peach Bellini Mocktail. They are cool and refreshing and take advantage of ripe and juicy, in-season peaches!

For more information on SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener and recipe ideas visit their website and also find them on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram.

Frozen Peach Bellini Mocktails are a cool and refreshing drink to beat the summer heat and can be enjoyed by the whole family.
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or you can use frozen)
- 1 cup sparkling apple juice, plus more for serving
- 2 teaspoons SPLENDA® Sugar Blend
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Depending on the sweetness of your peaches and your personal taste you may want to use more or less SPLENDA® Sugar Blend. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more if desired.
