Coming from the beautiful city of Venice, a peach Bellini is an ultimate Italian cocktail that leaves a lovely blend of sparkling water and peach pulp on your taste buds. Known for being served at celebrations, this drink is a flavored version of a Champagne cocktail and is named after a very famous painter, Giovanni Bellini.
In Italy, a peach Bellini is made by using original sparkling Italian wine, but in other countries Champagne is used. This chilled fruit cocktail is a great drink to be served at brunch, pool parties, or even weddings. It is also one of those cocktails which can be enjoyed on a relaxed evening either alone or with friends.
Even though the recipe was created with just two ingredients, there are many versions of it. The best part about all these cocktails other than their tastes are the ways in which they are presented. They look very stylish and elegant with slight colors in them, which makes them a whole class apart.
It is not at all difficult to learn how to make the drink because of the basic ingredients added in it. Thus, if you are someone, who loves to try new cocktail recipes or come up with your own, I am sure this one will definitely be a show-stopper!

Italian Peach Bellini

Ingredients
  • Halved peaches, 6
  • Chilled Prosecco, 1 bottle
  • Water, ¼ cup
  • Superfine sugar, ¼ cup
Directions
Grate the peaches to create a puree. Once the peaches are grated in a bowl, add the sugar and water to it and place this mixture in the pitcher. Shake the pitcher very well so that the ingredients are mixed well, and then refrigerate it for a few hours.
When you have to serve the drink, pour the fine sugar on a plate and invert the glasses over the sugar, so that the rims are coated. Then pour very little peach mixture into the glasses and add the Prosecco gently over it.

Frozen Peach Bellini

Ingredients
  • Andre Asti Spumante, 6 oz.
  • Frozen peaches, 2
  • Peach schnapps, 1 oz.
  • Ice cubes
Directions
For the frozen peaches, make sure you keep the peaches in the freezer for at least 2 hours so they are chilled enough for the drink. Once they are frozen, add them with peach schnapps into the blender and mix well. Since you are preparing a cocktail, you can use a shaker to mix the drink.
Add the peach mixture, the champagne and the ice cubes together in the shaker and give it a good shake. Freeze the drink for sometime before serving. Pour the cocktail in the serving glasses and you can add a little grenadine, to get color if you want.

Lavender and Peach Bellini

Ingredients
  • Peach puree, 1 cup
  • Prosecco, 1 bottle
  • Edible, dried or fresh lavender, 1 pinch
Directions
This is a very simple recipe, where you don't have to manually puree the peach. Therefore, pour the peach puree in the glass and then pour the sweet sparkling wine over it (use chilled wine). Make sure you don't stir the mixture but pull out the puree with a spoon. Then place the lavender on the drink and serve it.
