Bellini Cocktail

This Bellini recipe is a refreshing and bubbly drink that’s perfect for celebrations or a relaxing brunch. Made with just two ingredients—prosecco and peach purée—it’s a light and fruity cocktail that’s both simple and elegant!

If you’re looking for a cocktail that’s easy to make but packs a punch of flavor, peach Bellinis are just the ticket! With just peach nectar and sparkling white wine, this two-ingredient drink is perfect for any occasion.

Originating from Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy, the Bellini was created by Giuseppe Cipriani and named after artist Giovanni Bellini, whose paintings inspired the drink’s vibrant pink color.

What is the difference between a bellini and mimosa?

The difference between a Bellini and a Mimosa lies in the type of fruit juice used. A Mimosa is made with equal parts orange juice and sparkling wine, while a Bellini uses peach nectar and sparkling wine, giving it a fruity, sweet flavor with a slightly different texture and color.

Why I love this recipe

One of the things I love most about the Bellini Cocktail is how incredibly easy it is to make. There are no complicated steps or fancy ingredients involved, just peach nectar and sparkling wine.

The natural sweetness and lightness of the peach flavor blend beautifully with the crisp bubbles of the wine, creating a drink that’s refreshing and flavorful.
