How to Make Frozen Peach Bellini Cocktail
Let me show you how incredibly easy it is to make this delightful Frozen Peach Bellini:
Blend Fruit Base
- First, I add the peaches (fresh or frozen both work!), the sugar, and the ice cubes into my blender.
- I blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
Add Bubbles and Serve
- Next, I carefully add the chilled Prosecco, Champagne, or other sparkling wine to the blender.
- I pulse just a few times until the wine is fully incorporated. I don’t want to blend too much at this stage, or I’ll lose the bubbles!
- I immediately divide the Frozen Peach Bellini mixture into chilled champagne flutes or wine glasses.
- I top with a fresh peach slice for garnish.
- Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for the BEST Frozen Bellini
Here are my secrets for making this Frozen Peach Bellini truly exceptional:
- Use Frozen Peaches: For the thickest, frostiest texture without diluting the flavor, use frozen peach slices. If using fresh peaches, you may need to add more ice.
- Chill Your Wine: Ensure your Prosecco or Champagne is very well-chilled before adding it to the blender.
- Don’t Over-Blend: Pulse the sparkling wine in very briefly at the end – just enough to combine. Over-blending will cause it to lose its fizz.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the peach mixture before adding the wine. If your peaches are very ripe, you might need less sugar. If they are tart, you might want a little more.
- Serve Immediately: Frozen blended cocktails are best enjoyed right away before they start to melt.
How to Serve
This Frozen Peach Bellini is perfect served:
- Chilled: Straight from the blender into festive glasses.
- For Brunch: An ideal celebratory drink for brunch gatherings.
- At Parties: A fun and refreshing cocktail for showers, birthdays, or summer parties.
- Poolside: The ultimate refreshing poolside sipper.
Garnish with a fresh peach slice or even a raspberry.
Make Ahead and Storage
Due to its frozen, blended nature and the inclusion of sparkling wine, this Frozen Peach Bellini is best made fresh and served immediately. It does not store well.
FAQs about Frozen Peach Bellini
- Can I use canned peaches?
- Yes, drain them very well. Canned peaches are often packed in syrup, so you will likely want to omit or significantly reduce the added sugar in the recipe. Frozen or fresh peaches generally provide better flavor.
- What’s the difference between a Bellini and a Mimosa?
- A traditional Bellini is made with Prosecco and peach puree, while a traditional Mimosa is made with Champagne and orange juice. This recipe is a frozen twist on the Bellini.
- Can I make a large batch?
- You can, but you’ll likely need to blend it in batches depending on your blender size. Keep the blended mixture in the freezer between batches and combine/pulse briefly with sparkling wine just before serving.
Enjoy this incredibly refreshing, fruity, and easy-to-make Frozen Peach Bellini Cocktail! It’s a perfect celebration in a glass.

Description
This Frozen Peach Bellini is a refreshing and bubbly cocktail perfect for brunch, celebrations, or warm weather. Frozen peaches are blended with sugar and sparkling wine for a simple and delicious slushy treat.
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen peach slices (or fresh peaches + more ice)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or adjust to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 3 cups Prosecco, Champagne, or other sparkling wine, chilled
- Fresh peach slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Fruit Base: Add the frozen peaches, sugar, and ice cubes to a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy.
- Add Sparkling Wine: Pour the chilled Prosecco (or other sparkling wine) into the blender with the peach mixture.
- Pulse Briefly: Secure the lid and pulse the blender just a few times (2-3 short pulses) until the sparkling wine is just incorporated. Do not over-blend at this stage, or you will lose the carbonation.
- Serve: Immediately divide the mixture among Champagne flutes or other cocktail glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh peach slice, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Peaches: Using frozen peach slices creates the desired thick, frozen consistency without needing excessive ice, which can dilute the flavor. If using fresh peaches, you will need to add significantly more ice.
- Sparkling Wine: Use chilled Prosecco (traditional for Bellinis), Champagne, Cava, or another dry or off-dry sparkling wine.
- Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches and your personal preference. You can also substitute simple syrup or agave nectar.
- Blending: Blend the fruit base until smooth, but only pulse briefly after adding the sparkling wine to retain as much fizz as possible.
- Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more sparkling wine or a little cold water. If too thin, add more frozen peaches or ice.
- Storage: This cocktail is best served immediately.
