Real Bellinis Recipes

BELLINIS

Steps:

• Make a simple syrup by adding the sugar and 1/2 cup water to a very small saucepan and heating over low heat until all of the sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a container and allow to cool completely in the fridge.
• Grab the bag of frozen peaches and the lemon zest and add them to a blender with the cold simple syrup; blend until smooth. Place the blender pitcher in the fridge until you need it.
• To serve, pour some puree into a champagne flute and top off with very cold champagne or sparkling wine.

TROPICAL BELLINIS

Steps:

• Mix the pineapple juice, coconut drink and orange juice in a large pitcher and refrigerate until well chilled. Thread a cherry, pineapple spear and a second cherry on each of 12 decorative cocktail toothpicks; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve: Fill a champagne flute one-third of the way with the pineapple juice mixture and top up with prosecco or sparkling water. Garnish with a pineapple cherry spear.

FRESH PEACH BELLINIS

Steps:

• Place the peaches, lemon juice, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. Press the mixture through a sieve and discard the peach solids in the sieve. Place 2 tablespoons of the peach puree into each Champagne glass and fill with cold prosecco. Serve immediately.
