Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If peaches aren’t in season, try frozen peach slices or even frozen peach puree as a substitute. Just thaw them first before blending!
Sugar: You might want to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches. If you’re watching your sugar intake, consider using honey or agave syrup instead.
Prosecco: While Prosecco is my go-to, any sparkling wine like Cava or Champagne will work nicely. Just check for a good level of sweetness to match your peach puree!
How Do I Make the Perfect Peach Puree?
The peach puree is the star of this drink. To ensure you get the best flavor, make sure the peaches are ripe! Here’s how to make the puree:
- Peel and slice the peaches, discarding the pit.
- In a blender, combine the peaches with lemon juice and sugar (if using).
- Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary!
This puree can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a few hours if needed. Just give it a good stir before using!

FAQ for Easy Peach Bellini Recipe
Can I Use Canned Peaches Instead of Fresh?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to drain the canned peaches well and adjust the sugar since they are often sweeter than fresh peaches. Blend them similarly to create your puree.
How Can I Make a Non-Alcoholic Version?
For a refreshing mocktail, replace the Prosecco with sparkling water or sparkling juice. You can also add a splash of peach nectar for extra flavor!
Can I Make the Peach Puree Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the peach puree a few hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before using it in your Bellinis!
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Bellinis?
Since the Prosecco will lose its fizz, it’s best to consume your Bellinis immediately after making them. If you have leftover puree, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just remember to mix it with fresh Prosecco when you’re ready to serve!
