See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.
Why This Recipe is So Good
- A peach Bellini is already a classic, but this version is genuinely better than anything you’ll order at brunch. Fresh peach puree made from real peaches — gives you that bright, sweet, true-fruit flavor that makes every sip taste like peak summer!
- We’re talking 5 ingredients and 5 minutes, and one of those ingredients is just water. Friend, if you own a blender, you can make these.
- This is the kind of recipe that makes you look like you planned everything. Guests will absolutely assume you ordered these from somewhere or spent way more effort than you did. You don’t have to tell them the truth.
What You Need to Know Before You Start
- Ripe, fragrant peaches will give you a naturally sweet peach puree for the bellini that barely needs sugar, while underripe peaches will taste flat and slightly bitter no matter how much you blend. Give your peaches a gentle squeeze before you buy them; they should yield slightly and smell like peaches, not nothing.
- Peach skin doesn’t blend down completely, so even small bits will end up in your puree and create an unpleasant texture in the finished drink. To peel quickly, score an X on the bottom of each peach, drop them into boiling water for 30–60 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath, and the skins slip right off!
- Bartender move: pour the blended puree through a fine-mesh strainer before filling your flutes, and you’ll get a silky, pulp-free result that looks exactly like something from a restaurant brunch menu.
- Chill your puree in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving, and make sure your Prosecco is properly cold — not just cool. A warm Prosecco will go flat faster and throw off the balance of the whole drink.

Frequently Asked Questions
Blend fresh peeled peaches with water, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth, then pour the puree into champagne flutes and top with chilled Prosecco. That’s genuinely it! No special skills, no bartending experience, no complicated steps. Full instructions are in the recipe card below!
Yes, frozen peaches work when fresh aren’t available. Thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before blending, or your puree will be too thin. Fresh peaches will always give you a brighter, more vibrant flavor, but frozen is a solid backup.
Any dry to off-dry sparkling wine works beautifully here; cava and champagne are both good substitutes. Avoid anything too sweet, since the peach puree already brings plenty of natural sweetness, and a sweet sparkling wine will push the whole drink over the edge.
Absolutely! Swap the Prosecco for sparkling cider or plain seltzer water. Sparkling cider will give you a sweeter, more festive result; seltzer keeps it light and lets the peach flavor shine through on its own.
Yes, and this is actually the best way to handle it for a party or brunch. Make the puree up to 24 hours in advance and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before serving since it may settle slightly overnight.
Start with the 2 tablespoons of sugar called for in the recipe, then taste your puree before you commit. Very ripe, in-season peaches may need less or none at all. Less ripe peaches may need an extra tablespoon. You can always add more sugar, but you can’t take it out!
This recipe yields approximately 8 servings based on filling each champagne flute halfway with puree and topping with Prosecco.
