Ingredients

  • 2 oz white peach purée, chilled
  • 4 oz non-alcoholic sparkling wine or sparkling water
  • Dash of fresh lemon juice

Method

  1. 1Chill the flute and both ingredients thoroughly — this drink is unforgiving when warm.
  2. 2Spoon the peach purée into the bottom of the flute.
  3. 3Add the dash of lemon juice.
  4. 4Top slowly with the sparkling wine, pouring down the side of the glass, and stir once gently.

Notes

  • White peaches, not yellow — it's the original and the flavour is more delicate.
  • Frozen peaches blended with a splash of water make a fine purée out of season.
  • Pour slowly. Poured fast, the purée foams up and over the rim.

Common questions

What is a Bellini made of?

White peach purée and sparkling wine. The non-alcoholic version swaps in N/A sparkling wine or sparkling water and loses very little, since the peach carries the drink.

    Orange juice and sparkling, in the right ratio and properly cold. The default brunch drink, done well.

  • Cranberry Orange Spritzer

    Tart, bright and barely sweet. Two minutes, and it looks like an occasion.

  • Cranberry Rosemary Spritz

    Tart, herbal and festive. The drink to make when you want something that looks like an occasion.
