Bellini

By á-174942

Ingredients

• 1 ripe white peach pitted but
• not peeled, cut into 1" cubes
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup (see recipe)
• 2 cups Prosecco (an Italian sparkling wine), Champagne, sparkling wine or nonalcoholic sparkling wine

Preparation

Step 1

In a blender, combine the cubed peach flesh, lemon juice and simple syrup and blend well. Divide the peach puree among 4 chilled Champagne flutes. Gently pour in the sparkling wine. Stir gently to combine.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

If white peaches are out of season, don't hesitate to make this with yellow ones — the drink won't be quite the same in color, but it will retain its marvelous balance and flavor. You can also use frozen peach puree in place of the fresh peach (if you do, omit the lemon juice and simple syrup).
