Today an elegant Bellini cocktail, made of peach puree and Prosecco. A delicious cocktail recipe for the Italian buffet.

And now the recipe for today adapted from the book What's a hostess to do of Susan Spungen: an elegant Bellini, made of peach puree and Italian prosecco. Delicious as a drink when you welcome your guests on a warm and sunny day. You imagine yourself immediately in Italy.

A real bellini is made of white peach puree. According to the experts, white peaches got the best flavor of all the peaches, but there is a downside. They can not stand transportation. In the Netherlands, it's not easy to buy when you are a customer. If you still want to make a bellini, use fresh peaches when in season (and not the canned peaches in syrup).
By mixing 1 tablespoon lemon juice into the pureed peaches they do not tarnish and they remain to look beautiful. Store in the refrigerator and use it the same day.
Its peach season is over, but you would like a nice cocktail at your buffet, make a Mimosa, where you replace the peach puree with orange juice.

⏲️ Preparation and storage

In the morning you can blanch the peaches. Therefor remove the skins and puree the peaches with the lemon juice. Keep the puree in a sealed container in the refrigerator until use.
A Bellini needs to be served fresh. You can't store it in the refrigerator or in the freezer.
