Print Recipe

A quick and elegant peach champagne bellini perfect for brunches, combining fresh peach puree with bubbly champagne and a hint of lemon juice for a refreshing and light flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) champagne or sparkling wine, Brut style
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup (optional, adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel and pit the peaches: blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Peel, halve, remove pits, and roughly chop the flesh.
  2. Blend the peach puree: place chopped peaches in a blender or food processor, add lemon juice and 1 tablespoon simple syrup. Blend until smooth with some texture, about 30 seconds. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a silkier texture.
  3. Chill the puree: pour peach mixture into a bowl with ice cubes and stir occasionally for 5 minutes to cool quickly.
  4. Prepare the champagne: open the bottle slowly and gently. Pour about 1 ounce (30 ml) into each champagne flute.
  5. Assemble the bellini: add approximately 2 ounces (60 ml) of chilled peach puree into each flute. Top with 3 ounces (90 ml) champagne. Stir gently to combine without losing fizz.
  6. Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf or a thin peach slice on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use firm but juicy peaches for best texture. Adjust simple syrup based on peach sweetness. Chill peach puree well before adding champagne to keep drink refreshing. Open champagne carefully to preserve bubbles. Avoid stirring vigorously after adding champagne to maintain fizz. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable, but flavor may be less vibrant. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling water or dry sparkling cider.
