Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Ripe, juicy peaches are key for this mocktail. If fresh peaches are out of season, you can use frozen peaches. Just thaw them before blending for a creamy puree.
Sparking Water/Wine: I love using sparkling water for a lighter option, but a non-alcoholic sparkling wine gives a more traditional Bellini feel. Choose your favorite for the desired fizz!
Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens up the flavors. If fresh lemons aren’t available, bottled lemon juice can work in a pinch, though fresh is best.
Honey/Agave Syrup: This is optional, depending on the sweetness of your peaches. If you’re looking for a vegan option, use agave syrup. You could also skip it if your peaches are sweet enough.
Garnishes: Fresh raspberries and mint add a nice pop of color and flavor. You can switch it up with other berries or edible flowers if you want something different.
How Do You Create the Perfect Peach Puree?
Making a smooth and tasty peach puree is a simple yet crucial step. Here’s how to do it:
- First, make sure to peel your peaches for a silky texture.
- Blend the peach slices with lemon juice and honey/agave until completely smooth. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of water to help blend.
- Always taste and adjust sweetness if needed!
A well-made peach puree is the heart of the Bellini. Enjoy making your mocktail!
