Bellini bar recipe - featured image

A simple and elegant Bellini bar featuring homemade peach purée and chilled Prosecco, perfect for brunch or casual celebrations. This recipe offers a fresh, fruity, and bubbly drink experience that’s easy to prepare and customize.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 750 ml chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine (dry or extra dry)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, peach slices, edible flowers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins. Pit and roughly chop the peaches (about 10 minutes).
  2. Place chopped peaches into a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons cold water. Blend until smooth but slightly thick (1-2 minutes).
  3. Taste the purée and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed. Add a splash of water if too thick and pulse again. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for ultra-smooth texture.
  4. Transfer the purée to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and keep refreshing.
  5. Set up the Bellini bar by arranging the chilled peach purée in a bowl with a spoon, placing chilled Prosecco bottles nearby, and laying out glasses and optional garnishes.
  6. To serve, spoon about 2 ounces (60 ml) of peach purée into a glass, then slowly top with 4 ounces (120 ml) of Prosecco. Stir gently once to combine and garnish if desired.
  7. Sip slowly and enjoy. Encourage guests to customize their drinks to taste.

Notes

Pour Prosecco slowly to keep bubbles lively and prevent overflow. Do not pre-mix large batches to avoid flattening the fizz. Fresh peaches yield the best flavor but frozen or canned peaches (in juice) can be used as substitutes. Chill purée and Prosecco well before serving. Leftover purée keeps up to 3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
