California Peach Bellini Recipe – Fresh, Sparkling Cocktail
Nothing says summer quite like a California Peach Bellini—a sparkling cocktail that blends sun-ripened peaches with crisp prosecco or champagne. This elegant yet simple drink captures the essence of California’s peach season in every bubbly sip. Whether you’re hosting brunch, lounging by the pool, or toasting at a bridal shower, this easy Bellini recipe brings sunshine to any occasion. Plus, it’s ready in minutes with just a few fresh ingredients. Let’s raise a glass to peach-perfect refreshment!
I recently got a little inspiration from my friends at Pacific Coast Producers to make a light, no-added sugar, California-themed Bellini made with unsweetened canned peaches from California. But I love using frozen peaches or fresh peaches when they are in season. It’s a virtual snap to put this together made with the goodness of peaches, which are just so naturally sweet and good! You can make this recipe completely Californian by swapping out the Prosecco for a nice, crisp California sparkling white wine.
I first had a Bellini in the famed place it originated: Venice, Italy at Harry’s Bar. It is made with Prosecco (sparkling Italian white wine) and pureed white peaches. I really fell hard for Italian Prosecco, and since I became acquainted with it, I always have some on hand, especially for light cocktails like this California Peach Bellini.
