# Bellini

Ripe white-peach purée gives dry Prosecco a pale blush, silken fruit, and enough floral sweetness to turn sparkling wine into a distinctly seasonal cocktail.

Strength: 8% ABV before dilution

## Ingredients

- 30 ml [White peach purée](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/white-peach-puree.md) — Mash ripe fresh white peaches with their peel, then pass them through a food mill or fine sieve; do not use a blender or substitute peach nectar or liqueur.
- 90 ml [Prosecco](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/prosecco.md) — Use a thoroughly chilled, dry Prosecco.

## Glassware

Champagne flute

## Method

1. Add the cold white-peach purée to a chilled Champagne flute.
2. Add a small splash of Prosecco and stir gently to loosen the purée.
3. Add the remaining Prosecco slowly and give the drink one final delicate stir.
