Bellini
HB-6151 · Hand-built original
A classic peach bellini: ripe white peaches blended with lemon juice and a little sugar, strained and chilled into a purée, then lengthened with a cold bottle of prosecco.
Main ingredient: quartered
Ingredients
- ½–¾-lb. ripe white peaches, skin on, pitted and quartered
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 (3¼ cups) bottle prosecco (preferably Nino Franco) or other dry sparkling wine, chilled
- Raspberries for garnish (optional)
Method
- Blend the pitted, quartered white peaches, skin still on, with the lemon juice, sugar and 1/2 cup water on high speed until completely liquefied.
- Push the peach purée through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing on the solids, discard what the strainer catches, and chill the purée until cold, about 1 hour.
- Pour the chilled bottle of prosecco into the pitcher of peach purée and stir the bellini gently so it keeps its bubbles.
- Pour the bellini at once into chilled white wine glasses or Champagne flutes, garnish each glass with one or two raspberries if you are using them, and serve the drinks immediately.
