Ingredients
Instructions
- Place peach puree, peach Schnapps, and lemon juice in a tulip glass.
- Fill the glass with champagne.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches for your puree. If fresh peaches are not available, you can substitute with high-quality canned peaches. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of peach Schnapps based on your preference. To enhance the drink, consider adding a sprig of mint or a splash of raspberry puree for a twist. This cocktail pairs beautifully with Delightful Greens.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Peach Bellini in elegant tulip glasses to showcase its vibrant color. This cocktail is perfect for brunch or summer gatherings and can be paired with light appetizers like fruit skewers or mini pastries. For a festive touch, garnish with a slice of peach or a raspberry. It also makes a delightful complement to dishes like Quick Arabian Stew.
Storage & Reheating
Peach Bellinis are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftover peach puree, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid mixing with champagne until ready to serve, as carbonation will diminish. To enjoy later, simply stir the puree with freshly poured champagne. Do not freeze, as the texture will change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this drink ahead of time?
While the peach puree can be made ahead and stored, it's best to mix the Bellini just before serving to maintain the champagne's effervescence. Prepare the puree the day before and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to add it to the champagne.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Peach Bellini?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version by substituting the champagne with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. This way, you can enjoy the refreshing peach flavor without the alcohol while still experiencing the bubbly sensation.
What other fruits can I use in a Bellini?
While peaches are traditional, you can experiment with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or even mango. Simply replace the peach puree with an equal amount of your chosen fruit puree. Each variation will give a unique twist to the cocktail while maintaining its refreshing essence.
