What is a bellini? And what is prosecco?
A bellini is a classic Italian cocktail, created around 1948 in Venice, and is typically made with prosecco and peach puree. Prosecco is an affordable Italian sparkling wine.
Tips and tricks for perfect bellinis every single time
- Use frozen peaches. The frozen peaches will help achieve that favorited icy cold, thick slushy consistency, ideal to keep the cocktail nice and refreshing without watering it down with ice. Frozen peaches are also readily available year round for convenience.
- Choose a brut or extra dry prosecco. A brut or extra dry prosecco is great here – it does not have to be anything fancy or overpriced as it will be blended with other ingredients.
- Chill everything. As bellinis are best served cold, be sure to chill the prosecco and glassware before serving. Always pour the prosecco slowly to manage the bubbles and prevent overflowing.
- Garnish as needed. While garnishes are not required, a simple garnish (ex. peach slice or mint sprig), will elevate your cocktail to the next level, perfect for entertaining and hosting!
Variations
Fruit
Swap out the peaches for different fruit such as strawberries or mango, or even a combination of peaches with raspberries!
Mocktail
For a nonalcoholic version, use sparkling water or club soda in place of the processo or champagne.
Garnishes
Add the finishing touches to your cocktail with peach slices, strawberries or mint sprigs.
Glassware
Bellinis are traditionally served in champagne flutes to preserve carbonation, but this cocktail can also be served in coupe glasses, cylindrical glasses or stemless wine glasses for presentation.

Frozen Peach Bellini: Frequently Asked Questions
A mimosa uses orange juice with champagne or sparkling wine while a bellini uses peach puree with prosecco.
Absolutely! If you have in-season peaches, slice them into wedges first, flash freezing on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper and freezing for 1 hour until solid. Transfer the peaches to an airtight, resealable freezer bag, freezing up to 3 months or use immediately for bellinis.
Prosecco is generally used in bellinis but champagne or cava (Spanish sparkling wine) can also be used.
Yes! Skip the prosecco and use sparkling water or club soda instead.

I have it!!! It is delicious!!
I couldn’t find frozen peaches any so I used frozen mangos instead – delicious!
So very easy and delicious! I used the frozen peaches that I put up last year. Perfect drink for a hot day and for a brunch.
Hey folks… Here’s my version of the classic “Peach Bellini, that I created for the 1987 North American science fiction convention in Phoenix Az. :
my ingredients:
2 lbs of frozen peach slices (keeping two or three slices separate per serving for garnish if needed)
1/2 pint of Peach Schnapps
approx. 1/4 (+/-) of 1/5th of Coconut Rum
1 can of frozen Hawaiian’s own pineapple/guava frozen juice mix (no water added)
Using the large 64 oz. Vita-mix carafe
Add the above listed ingredients. cover, and blend on high until, everything is well blended into a frozen slurry….
pour into glasses, adding frozen slices of peach and a sprig of fresh mint as garnish, and serve
(depending on glass sizes, serves 4-8)
At the sci/fi convention? I had to make many batches, as this was a Major Hit… Enjoy

How do you make this without mango nectar? I’m allergic to mangoes
You can simply omit or use something else instead – for instance, you can use papaya or even nectarine.
Easy.. My Girlfriend is also allergic to mango’s.. So in my version? I substitute pineapple/guava.. works wonderfully
Brigitte
Can the batch be saved if it is not all used??
I’m not entirely sure if it will keep.
I was wondering if you could substitute the mango nectar for peach nectar or something else.
Absolutely!
Leanne, What is the peach wine that you have. I would love a suggestion for a good peach wine. Thanks
I have a bottle of Asti, can I use that in place of the prosecco?
Sure!
I like the frozen tub idea, should work!
Hi! What do you think about freezing a whole batch in one big container and scooping it out frozen?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment.
I have a wonderful peach wine that I will try this with. On another blog, it was suggested to pour this into ice cube trays so you can take out only a few cubes at a time, add a small splash of wine to the blender and the cubes, blend and presto – you have a one (or two or three) serving drink.
Hi! I was just wondering what is a good food pairing with this drink? Or is it good on it own?
It’s honestly great on its own, but you can also serve with a light spring salad, risotto, garlic fries, scallops and/or pasta.
This is a brunch drink IMO. Think Eggs Benedict or Chicken and Waffles.
Any ideas on how to make this a diabetics friendly drink?
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment.
This look delicious! I cannot edit to try. Where do I find mango nectar??? Love your recipes!
Thank you!
Donna
Thank you!! Meant to type “wait” instead of edit.
Mango nectar should be available in most grocery stores.
Gorgeous!!! Oh, how I heart bellinis… So looking forward to enjoying these while soaking up some summer sun!
Why does it say “set aside” after you blend peach /mango….set aside to me means your not going to need it just yet…in this case you blend and pour into a glass unless I am missing something?
Stella, you are completely right. There is no need to “set aside” – you can simply blend and pour. Easy peasy!
Oh, holy cow!! I could just crawl inside that beautiful thing and spend all summer! Mmmm…
This was really good and refreshing. The mango nectar was a bit overpowering in relation to the peaches.
