What is in a virgin peach bellini?

A traditional Bellini was originally invented at Harry's Bar in Venice and is made with white peach puree and Prosecco. For a mocktail version, you use fresh or frozen peach puree and mix it with a bubbly non-alcoholic alternative! Sparkling apple cider, sparkling white grape juice, or even plain sparkling water with a touch of simple syrup all work perfectly to give you that classic fizz.

Can I use canned or frozen peaches for a bellini?

Yes, absolutely! While fresh, ripe summer peaches are amazing when they are in season, frozen peaches (thawed slightly) or canned peaches (drained of their heavy syrup) work wonderfully. Using frozen or canned fruit makes this bright, fruity drink incredibly easy to whip up all year round.

How do you make the peach puree?

It is incredibly simple! Just add your peeled and pitted peaches directly to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend them on high until the mixture is completely smooth. If your peaches are not very juicy and are having trouble blending, you can add a tiny splash of water or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to get things moving.

Can I make peach bellini mocktails ahead of time?

You can definitely prep the peach puree up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight jar in the fridge. However, you absolutely must wait to pour in your sparkling cider or sparkling water until right before you are ready to serve. If you mix it too early, you will lose all those fun, fizzy bubbles!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 4 drinks
Category: Drinks / Cocktails

Ingredients

2 cups frozen peaches (slightly thawed) OR 2 large fresh peaches (peeled and pitted)
1 bottle (750ml) Sparkling Apple Cider, well chilled (or sparkling white grape juice)
1-2 tablespoons water or fresh lemon juice (only if needed for blending)
Fresh peach slices (for garnish)
Fresh thyme or mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the fruit: If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If using frozen, let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Blend the puree: Place the peaches into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth. If the blades get stuck, add a tiny splash of water or lemon juice to help it along.
Prepare the glasses: Set out four champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses.
Add puree: Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the smooth peach puree into the bottom of each glass.
Pour the bubbly: Slowly and carefully pour the chilled sparkling apple cider into each glass, filling it to the top. Pour at an angle to prevent overflowing.
Stir and garnish: Gently stir the drink with a long spoon to mix the puree and the cider. Garnish the rim with a fresh peach slice and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
