Peach Bellini
Peach Bellini is a bubbly, refreshing cocktail that truly only has two ingredients in it. I do add a little honey to the peach puree for more sweetness, but that’s an optional ingredient that you can leave out if you want.
You can use either white peaches or yellow peaches, depending on availability. Your cocktail will be pretty perfect either way since it’s made with fresh puree! Peaches is a wonderful fruit that makes so many drinks taste amazing, like my Peach Margaritas and Peach Lemonade. (Psst, all are great recipes to use up the gorgeous peaches during peak season.)
This Bellini only takes about 15 minutes to prepare and most of that time is making the peach puree. You can save even more time by preparing the puree ahead of time – more info on that below!
Lyuba’s Tips to Make Fresh Peach Puree and Peach Bellini
- Peel the skin off the peaches before blending. Ripe peaches are very easy to peel the skin off with your hands, but you can also use a vegetable peeler.
- 16 oz of peaches will make about 12-13 oz of peach puree. That should be enough for 8-10 cocktails, depending on the size of champagne flute.
- Wondering if you can use frozen peaches? Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Choose peaches that are skinless and make sure to thaw peaches in the refrigerator before blending.
- Make ahead and storing peach puree: you can easily save yourself some time by making peach puree the day before or a few hours before. I don’t recommend preparing peach puree any earlier than 1 day because fresh peach puree won’t last much longer in the fridge.
How To Pour Champagne With Less Foam
- You’ll be happy to know that there are actually tricks you can use to manage the excessive foam when pouring champagne and prosecco!
- First – it’s best to use all cold ingredients. So make sure your peach puree and your prosecco are cold. If you can remember, chill the glasses as well.
- Second – pour on an angle! Older ways will tell you to pour straight over the glass but that will not do it. Pick up the glass and hold it tilted at about 45° angle. Hold champagne/prosecco bottle right by the glass and slowly and gently pour down the inside side of the glass.
- The tilt method works great with all of your carbonated drinks like beer, cider, and sparkling wine. That’s why you see bartenders always pour beer and champagne on an angle. They don’t have all day to stay there and pour a sip at a time waiting for the foam to settle.

Peach Bellini Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 oz peaches ripe
- 1/4 cup honey
- 750 ml Prosecco
Instructions
Peach puree:
- Peel the skin off the peaches before blending. Ripe peaches are very easy to peel the skin off with your hands but you can also use a vegetable peeler.
- Place peeled peaches in the blender and add honey. Blend until completely smooth.
- If not using right away, pour peach puree into a food storage container with an air-tight lid and refrigerate. (I do not recommend storing fresh peach puree for more that a day.)
Bellini:
- Divide puree among champagne flutes, adding about 1 1/2 oz of puree per flute.
- Fill the flute with Prosecco about half way and gently stir to mix puree and Prosecco. Fill the flute with Prosecco the rest of the way.
- Garnish with a slice of peach is desired and enjoy right away.

If you are blending the peaches in a blender, how come you have to remove the skins of the peaches? I’ve NEVER made a mixed drink in my life and I’m making them for my daughter’s engagement party next week. I was just curious if it changed the flavor or texture. Thx in advance.
If you don’t peel them it wont be smooth even blended you will have little skin pieces in your drinks.
Could i swap out the Honey with a simple syrup?
Sure, it will taste a little different though.
Love, love, love this cocktail! I love the burst of juicy peach flavor. It always hits the spot!
I am so happy you love it!
I had extra peaches on hand that were getting extra ripe and these bellinis were the perfect way to enjoy them.
Great drink! I loved them!
