Notes

Tips for the Best Bellini

• Peach Purée: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen peaches or high-quality peach nectar.
• Prosecco Choice: Choose a dry Prosecco or sparkling wine to balance the sweetness of the peach purée.
• Chilling: Ensure the Prosecco is well chilled before making the cocktail for a refreshing drink.
