Print Recipe

A refreshing frozen peach bellini slushie with fresh thyme that balances peach’s natural sweetness, sparkling wine’s fizz, and herbal notes for a perfect summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cups/300g frozen peach slices)
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) chilled sparkling wine or Prosecco
  • 3 to 4 fresh thyme sprigs, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 2 cups (about 8.8 oz / 250 g) ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl oz / 60 ml) water

Instructions

  1. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight. If using frozen peaches, skip this step.
  2. In a blender jar, add fresh thyme sprigs and honey (if using). Pour in lemon juice and water. Pulse a few times to bruise thyme leaves and release aroma.
  3. Add frozen peach slices and ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid tightly.
  4. Blend on high speed for about 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and slushy. Adjust consistency by adding more water or sparkling wine if too thick, or more ice if too thin.
  5. Pour in chilled sparkling wine gently and pulse a couple of times to mix without losing bubbles. Avoid vigorous blending.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice if needed. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove thyme bits.
  7. Serve immediately in glasses garnished with fresh thyme sprig or peach slice.

Notes

Freeze peaches well to avoid watery slushie. Bruise thyme leaves before blending to release aroma. Add sparkling wine at the end and pulse gently to preserve bubbles. For non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling wine with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda and adjust sweetness accordingly. Prepare peach and thyme mixture ahead and freeze for up to 2 weeks, then blend with ice and sparkling wine before serving.
