Ingredients & Substitutions

Ingredient List

• Simply Peach Juice or any peach nectar
• Prosecco sparkling wine
• Raspberries and mint for garnish

Notes on Quality

For the best flavor, use fresh peach juice or a high-quality peach nectar. Simply Peach Juice is a great option, but any natural peach juice will work. If using canned peach nectar, choose one with no added sugar to keep the drink light and refreshing.

When selecting Prosecco, opt for a brut or extra dry variety to balance the natural sweetness of the peach juice.

Possible Substitutions

• Swap Prosecco for Champagne or any other sparkling wine for a different take
• Use sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine for a mocktail version
• Try frozen peach slices blended with juice for a frozen Peach Bellini

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of Simply Peach juice into a chilled champagne flute.
2. Top off with Prosecco, pouring slowly to avoid overflow.
3. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a mint leaf for a touch of color and added freshness.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Best Practices

• Chill both the Prosecco and peach juice before making your Bellini to keep it extra refreshing
• Use a tilted pour technique when adding the Prosecco to minimize fizz overflow
• Garnish with frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones to keep the drink cold longer

Common Mistakes

• Overpouring the Prosecco too quickly can cause excessive foaming and spillover
• Using overly sweet peach juice can make the drink too syrupy—opt for a juice with natural sweetness
• Skipping the garnish—a simple raspberry and mint sprig elevates the presentation

Time-Saving Tips

• Pre-chill the glasses for an extra crisp and refreshing experience
• Set up a self-serve Bellini bar for guests with different juice options and fruit garnishes

Storage & Reheating

Leftover Storage

No reheating needed! Just ensure all ingredients are well-chilled before making a new round.

Variations & Customizations
