Peach Bellini

Peach Bellini Recipe

Peach Bellini is a classic Italian cocktail that combines peach puree and Prosecco, a sparkling wine from Italy. It is a refreshing drink that is perfect for brunch, summer parties, or any special occasion. This cocktail is easy to make, and you can adjust the sweetness and alcohol level to your taste.

My Personal Story

I first tried Peach Bellini when I was studying abroad in Italy. I was wandering through the streets of Florence and stumbled upon a quaint little restaurant. I ordered a Peach Bellini, and it was love at first sip. The combination of sweet peach puree and bubbly Prosecco was heavenly. Since then, I have been making Peach Bellini for every special occasion.

Serving Suggestions

Peach Bellini is best served chilled and can be paired with brunch dishes such as eggs Benedict, quiche, or waffles. It is also perfect for bridal showers, garden parties, or any special occasion.
