Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 (16‑ounce / ~450 g) bag frozen peaches
1½ cups peach juice (e.g. Simply Peach® or equivalent)
2 teaspoons lemon juice (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon honey (or more to taste)
Fresh peach slices, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Place the frozen peaches, peach juice, lemon juice, and honey into the cup of a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth and uniform, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add more peach juice until desired slushy consistency is reached.
Pour the peach mixture into 5 or 6 chilled champagne flutes, filling each about halfway.
Carefully pour chilled sparkling wine into each flute until just below the top.
Gently stir each drink to combine the peach purée and wine without losing too much fizz.
Garnish with a fresh peach slice on the rim, if desired. Serve immediately.

Variations

Non-alcoholic version: substitute sparkling wine with sparkling grape juice or soda water for a refreshing mocktail.
Extra sweetness: use agave syrup or maple syrup instead of honey, or increase honey to taste.
Frozen fruit alternative: blend with frozen mango or peach-mango blend for varied tropical flavor.
Spicy twist: add a pinch of ground ginger or a splash of peach schnapps for creative flavor.
Herb garnish: top with fresh mint or basil instead of peach slice for a fragrant touch.

Storage/Reheating

Storing: best consumed immediately. If needed, place leftover purée in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 1 day—stir before serving. Do not mix pre-poured drinks with wine until serving.
Reheating: not recommended. This drink is served cold and ideally slushy with sparkling wine.

FAQs

What Kind Of Frozen Peaches Should I Use?

Choose unsweetened, frozen peach slices for best control over sweetness and authentic peach flavor.

Can I Use Fresh Peaches Instead Of Frozen?

Yes—use fresh ripe peaches and freeze them for 1–2 hours before blending to achieve the slushy texture.

Is There A Vegan Option For The Sweetener?

Yes—use agave syrup or maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.

Can I Prepare The Peach Mix Ahead Of Time?

You can blend the peach mixture ahead and refrigerate for up to 6 hours, but wait to add sparkling wine until just before serving to preserve the fizz.

How Fizzy Will The Drink Be?

Sparkling wine adds gentle bubbles; stirring carefully helps retain effervescence while mixing it with the peach purée.

How Much Lemon Juice Should I Use?

Start with 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice; taste and adjust to preference for brightness.

Can I Make This as A Mocktail?

Yes—substitute sparkling wine with sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling cider for a refreshing non-alcoholic version.

Will This Freeze Again If Not Consumed?

No—once sparkling wine is added, refreezing is not advised. The peach purée alone may freeze again but will lose effervescence.

How Should I Serve The Bellini?

Use chilled champagne flutes and serve immediately after pouring the sparkling wine to maintain fizz and presentation.
