Blood Peach Purée Bellini
Use Purée Blood Peach, Frozen, Boiron (1kg) to make this recipe. A Bellini needs enough peach purée to taste of fruit without flattening the sparkling wine. Blood peach purée gives a deeper colour than the classic white-peach version and works best when every ingredient is thoroughly chilled.
At a glance
- Yield: 6
- Preparation: 10 minutes
- Cooking: None
- Chilling or freezing: None
Ingredients
- 240g blood peach purée, chilled
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar syrup, optional
- 750ml bottle dry sparkling wine, well chilled
Method
- Stir the peach purée with lemon juice. Taste and add sugar syrup only if needed.
- Divide the purée between six chilled flutes or wine glasses.
- Add a small splash of sparkling wine to each glass and stir gently to loosen the purée.
- Top slowly with the remaining wine, allowing the foam to settle, and serve immediately.
Why this recipe works
Loosening the purée with a first splash prevents a dense layer at the bottom. Chilling everything protects carbonation and limits the need for ice, which would dilute the drink.
Practical tips and variations
- Choose a dry sparkling wine because the fruit may already be sweet.
- Do not blend sparkling wine because it will foam aggressively and lose carbonation.
- For an alcohol-free Bellini, use a dry sparkling white tea or alcohol-free sparkling wine.
Serving and storage
Mix the purée base up to one day ahead and refrigerate. Open and add the sparkling wine only at serving time.
