What is a Peach Bellini?

A traditional peach Bellini is a cocktail made with peach purée or peach nectar and sparkling wine, typically Prosecco. The drink is often served chilled in a champagne flute, and it can be garnished with a slice of peach or other fruit, like raspberries or a cherry.

Traditionally, Bellinis are made with white peaches, but you can use whatever peaches you can find—just make sure they are fresh. If using bottled peach juice or peach nectar, use the best flavored peach juice or peach nectar that you can find.

Peach Bellinis are known for their refreshing and fruity flavor, making them a popular drink to serve at brunch parties and other special occasions. The drink is reported to have originated at the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy in the mid 20th century.

What is a Peach Bellini Made of?

Peach Bellinis are made with peach purée or peach nectar and sparkling wine, such as Prosecco. A nonalcoholic peach Bellini can be made using a substitute—such as sparkling grape juice or sparkling cider—in place of the sparkling wine.

The drink may be sweetened with simple syrup, if desired. You can also add a small amount of raspberry juice to give the peach Bellini a rosy glow. The pink blush is a perfect color for brunch parties and baby showers.

Where Can I Find Peach Juice or Peach Nectar?

Depending on where you live and shop, you can often find peach juice or peach nectar located in the juice aisle of many grocery stores. Look for it alongside other fruit juices or in the natural or organic drinks section, in some instances. In general, 100% pure peach juice is best. 

If you can’t find peach juice or peach nectar in your local grocery store, you can also check specialty food stores or order it online from various retailers. You can also make your own peach purée to use for making nonalcoholic peach Bellinis at home.

How Do You Make Peach Purée to Use for Making Peach Bellinis?

It’s easy to make homemade peach purée to use for making peach Bellinis. To make approximately 2 cups of peach purée, start by washing, peeling, and pitting 4 to 5 fresh, ripe, medium sized peaches. Carefully slice the peaches, and cut them into chunks.

Note: For an easy way to peel a peach, blanch the peach in boiling water for about 30 seconds, and then transfer it to an ice water bath to cool before carefully removing the peach skin with your fingers or with a knife.

Add the peach chunks and a small amount of water (start with ¼ cup, and add more if needed) to a blender. If desired, add a handful of frozen raspberries to the blender to add a rosy hue to the drink. Blend the mixture until smooth, adjusting the water as needed to achieve your desired consistency. 

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or solids, before using the peach purée to make peach Bellinis.

What is the Difference Between a Peach Bellini and a Mimosa?

You may wonder what is the difference between a peach Bellini and a mimosa cocktail. The differences are simple, and have to do mainly with the type of fruit used to make each drink.

While both peach Bellinis and mimosas are popular brunch cocktails, both drinks differ in their primary ingredients and flavors—one drink features orange as its main fruit flavor, while another features peach (and sometimes raspberry) notes.

A peach Bellini is typically made with peach purée or peach nectar that is mixed with sparkling wine, such as Prosecco, resulting in a sweet and fruity flavor profile with a hint of effervescence. On the other hand, a mimosa is made with equal parts of orange juice and  Champagne or sparkling wine, creating a citrusy and bubbly drink.

While both cocktails are refreshing and perfect for celebrating, the peach Bellini offers a distinct peach flavor, while the mimosa showcases the bright and tangy taste of orange juice.

What is a Good Substitute for Champagne or Prosecco?

One of the most important steps when making peach Bellini cocktails without alcohol is to find a good substitute to use in place of sparkling wine, Champagne, or Prosecco. Sparkling wine creates an effervescent effect in the cocktail, and add crisp and fruity notes to the flavor profile.

But if you’re making peach Bellinis for a baby shower or other special occasions, then you may be interested in making Bellinis without the alcohol. That’s where good substitutes for champagne or Prosecco enter the picture.

When making nonalcoholic peach Bellinis, there are several substitutes you can use instead of champagne or Prosecco to achieve a similar effervescent and bubbly effect in the drink. Some good options include:

• Sparkling Water. Sparkling water provides a bubbly texture and lightness similar to champagne or Prosecco without any alcohol. It also adds a refreshing element to the drink. If you like a sweeter drink, then it may be necessary to add a small amount of simple syrup to sweeten the peach Bellinis to taste.
• Sparkling Cider. Sparkling cider offers a slightly sweeter and fruitier flavor compared to sparkling water, which can complement the peach flavor in the Bellini nicely. Sparkling cider can be a good choice for those who like a sweeter drink.
• Sparkling White Grape Juice. Sparkling white grape juice provides a crisp and refreshing base for making nonalcoholic peach Bellini drinks. It adds a touch of sweetness and effervescence, similar to champagne or Prosecco, while allowing the peach flavor to shine through. Sparkling white grape juice is a versatile choice that pairs well with a variety of fruit flavors.
• Sparkling Rosé Grape Juice. Sparkling rosé grape juice offers a delicate pink hue and a hint of berry flavor, which can enhance the overall taste and appearance of your nonalcoholic peach Bellini. It adds a subtle sweetness and effervescence, making it a delightful alternative to traditional sparkling wine. This is a great choice for those who like a fruity drink. 

These options provide a way to enjoy peach Bellinis without the alcohol, providing the same effervescence and celebratory feel of the drink without compromising on flavor.

Beverages like sparkling cider, sparkling white grape juice, and sparkling rosé grape juice are excellent substitutes for champagne or Prosecco in nonalcoholic peach Bellinis, providing a delicious and sophisticated option for all occasions. 

What You’ll Need to Make Nonalcoholic Peach Bellinis in a Pitcher

Here are some of the ingredients and tools that can be used to make nonalcoholic peach Bellinis in a pitcher. 

1—Peach Purée or Peach Nectar.

Peaches are the main fruit component of the peach Bellini cocktail, providing the sweet and luscious peach flavor that gives the Bellini its distinctive taste. Peach purée is made by blending fresh or frozen peaches with a small amount of water or juice until smooth, while peach nectar is a commercially available juice made from peaches.

Both peach purée and peach nectar add richness and depth to the cocktail, and complement the sparkling wine component of the drink. You can use bottled peach nectar to make peach Bellinis, or make your own peach purée to use at home. White peaches are traditionally used to make peach Bellinis, but if you can’t find white peaches then use the best flavored peaches that you can find.

2—Sparkling Wine Substitute.

Sparkling wine adds effervescence and a sophisticated touch to a classic peach Bellini cocktail. The bubbles from sparkling wine create a light and airy texture, making the drink refreshing and delightful to sip.

To get a similar crispness and fruity notes—which enhance the peach flavor without overpowering it—without using alcohol, try substituting sparkling grape juice or sparkling cider in place of sparkling wine. Sparkling water can also be used to add effervescence to the drink.

3—Simple Syrup.

Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves. It adds sweetness to peach Bellinis, balancing out the tartness of the peach purée or peach nectar and the acidity of the sparkling wine substitute.

The amount of simple syrup that is used can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences, making the cocktail sweeter or less sweet as desired. Start with about ½ cup of simple syrup to sweeten a pitcher of peach Bellinis, and adjust the syrup to taste. 

4—Ice (optional).

Adding ice to the pitcher of peach Bellinis helps keep the drink cold and refreshing, especially if serving outdoors or in warm weather. However, you may prefer to skip the ice to prevent diluting the flavors of the cocktail as it sits, or make and freeze peach purée to use as ice cubes for the mocktail.

5—Raspberries (optional).

Adding raspberries to the peach juice or peach nectar adds a pop of color to the drink, and it gives the drink a subtle tart and berry flavor that complements the sweetness of the peaches. Raspberries can also be dropped into the drink to add a festive and flavorful touch.

Together, these ingredients create a harmonious blend of fruity, bubbly, and sweet flavors, making peach Bellinis a beloved cocktail for brunches, celebrations, and special occasions. Adjust the quantities and proportions of each ingredient to customize the drink to your liking. 

Here are some tools and equipment that can be useful when making nonalcoholic peach Bellinis. 

• Blender—for making homemade peach purée 
• Fine Mesh Sieve—to strain the homemade peach purée 
• Pitcher—for mixing and serving the drinks 
• Ice Cube Trays—for making ice cubes 
• Champagne Flutes—to serve the peach Bellini mocktails 

How to Make Nonalcoholic Peach Bellinis in a Pitcher

Peach Bellinis are a favorite drink for brunch parties and other special occasions. The refreshing peach flavor makes the Bellini a perfect summer drink. Making Bellinis by the pitcher is an easy way to make the cocktail for a crowd.

To make a delicious pitcher of peach Bellinis, start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need 2 cups of peach purée or peach nectar, a bottle of chilled sparkling wine substitute (such as sparkling grape juice or sparkling cider), ½ cup of simple syrup (you can omit this ingredient entirely or adjust it to taste), ice cubes (optional), and peach slices or raspberries for garnish (also optional).

Add the peach purée or peach nectar to a large pitcher. Slowly pour in the sparkling wine substitute over the peach purée or peach nectar, stirring gently to mix the ingredients. Next, add the simple syrup to the pitcher; stir to combine. Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your desired level of sweetness.

If you prefer your Bellinis extra cold, then consider adding ice to the pitcher before serving. You can make ice cubes from peach purée to help avoid watering down the peach flavor of the drink (simply pour peach purée into an ice tray and freeze it for a few hours or until the cubes are solid).

Before serving the peach Bellinis, give the mixture a final stir to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined. For an added touch of elegance, garnish the pitcher with peach slices or raspberries.

When ready to serve, pour the peach Bellini into champagne flutes, filling each glass about halfway full. This recipe should yield approximately 6 to 8 servings, depending on the size of your flutes and how generously you pour.

To make the best peach Bellinis, use the best quality ingredients that you can find, such as using ripe and flavorful peaches to make peach purée. Chill the sparkling wine substitute before using it to make peach Bellinis. Serve the Bellini mocktails as soon as the drink is mixed.

And finally, don’t forget to garnish each glass with a slice of peach, a few raspberries, or a mint leaf for a beautiful presentation. Nonalcoholic peach Bellinis make the perfect drink to enjoy with family and friends!
