Nothing says summer quite like a Peach Bellini. Sweet, juicy peaches are at their very best this time of year, making them the perfect ingredient for an easy cocktail to enjoy in the garden, at a summer lunch or while hosting friends.
To celebrate the launch of our new Issy Granger Champagne Flutes, we thought we'd share our favourite take on this timeless cocktail. Handblown from borosilicate glass and finished with our signature hand-applied blue dots, or as we like to call them, our 'Poms', they're designed to make every celebration feel a little more special.
Whether you're planning a relaxed weekend gathering, a birthday lunch or simply making the most of peach season, this Peach Bellini recipe couldn't be easier.
Peach Bellini Recipe
Serves: 4 (with a little left over for topping up!)
Ingredients
- 4 ripe white or yellow peaches
- 2-3 teaspoons sugar syrup or honey (to taste)
- Champagne or Prosecco, chilled
- Fresh mint
- Optional extra peach slices for garnish
For the sugar syrup
If you're making your own, simply combine white sugar and water in either a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then allow it to cool before using.
Method
- Slice and peel three of the peaches (or leave the skins on if you prefer). Remove the stones and blend until completely smooth.
- Stir 2-3 teaspoons of sugar syrup or honey into the peach purée, tasting as you go until it reaches your preferred sweetness.
- Spoon around three teaspoons of peach purée into each Issy Granger Champagne Flute.
- Slowly pour chilled Champagne or Prosecco into each flute, taking care not to let it overflow as it fizzes.
- If the purée doesn't mix naturally, gently stir with a cocktail stirrer or teaspoon until combined.
- Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint and a slice of the remaining peach before serving.
Tips for the Perfect Peach Bellini
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the sweetest flavour.
- Chill your Champagne Flutes before serving to keep your Bellinis colder for longer.
- White peaches create a traditional Bellini, while yellow peaches offer a slightly richer flavour.
- Prosecco works beautifully if you're after a lighter, fruitier cocktail, while Champagne makes it feel extra celebratory.
