Recipe Overview
Serves: 1 drink
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Peach White Balsamic
2 ounces smooth peach purée, well chilled
For the Mocktail: 4 ounces chilled sparkling water
For the Cocktail: 4 ounces chilled dry or Brut Prosecco
Fresh peach slice, for garnish
Mocktail Version
• Add Peach White Balsamic and chilled peach purée to a chilled flute or wine glass. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
• Slowly add the chilled sparkling water, pausing if necessary as the mixture foams.
• Stir once or twice very gently from the bottom of the glass, just enough to combine while preserving the carbonation.
• Garnish with a fresh peach slice and serve immediately.
Cocktail Version
• Add Peach White Balsamic and chilled peach purée to a chilled Champagne flute or wine glass. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
• Slowly top with chilled dry or Brut Prosecco, pausing if necessary to allow any foam to settle.
• Stir once very gently from the bottom of the glass to integrate the peach mixture without knocking out the bubbles.
• Garnish with a fresh peach slice and serve immediately.
Chef’s Tip
Keep the peach purée, glass and sparkling component thoroughly chilled before assembling. Cold ingredients preserve carbonation, and adding the bubbles gradually helps control the natural foaming that occurs when sparkling wine or water meets fruit purée.
Flavor Variations
• Mango Bellini: Replace Peach White Balsamic with Mango White Balsamic for a richer tropical-fruit variation.
• Strawberry Bellini: Replace Peach White Balsamic with Strawberry White Balsamic for soft berry brightness.
• Pear Bellini: Replace Peach White Balsamic with Pear White Balsamic for delicate orchard-fruit character.
• Pineapple Bellini: Replace Peach White Balsamic with Pineapple White Balsamic for a brighter tropical variation.
• Cranberry Orange Bellini: Replace Peach White Balsamic with Cranberry Orange White Balsamic for a festive tart-citrus variation.

Recipe Notes
For the smoothest Bellini, use ripe peaches puréed until smooth rather than peach juice. A dry or Brut Prosecco keeps the cocktail balanced against the natural sweetness of the fruit and Peach White Balsamic. If the purée is especially thick, loosen it with a teaspoon or two of sparkling water before assembling. Cocktail versions are intended for adults age 21+. Please enjoy responsibly.
