Description
You can now make your favourite patio happy hour drink at HOME. You heard me! We’ve created such a great recipe for a true Okanagan Peach Bellini that you will be sipping all summer long. A frozen blend of peaches, strawberries, white wine, and peach schnapps. Cheers!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen sliced peaches
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 2 cups chilled white wine (such as Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Riesling)
- 2 ounces peach schnapps
- Handful of ice cubes (adjust amount for consistency)
- Fresh peach or strawberry slice, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen peaches, frozen strawberries, chilled white wine, peach schnapps, and a handful of ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and reaches a slushy-like consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thin, add more ice cubes. If it’s too thick, add a splash more white wine or a little water. Blend again briefly until your desired consistency is reached.
- Serve: Pour immediately into chilled glasses (like wine glasses or champagne flutes). Garnish with a fresh peach or strawberry slice, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Frozen Fruit: Using frozen peaches and strawberries is key to achieving the thick, frozen texture without overly diluting the drink with ice.
- White Wine: Choose a white wine you enjoy drinking. Dry or off-dry varieties like Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or a dry Riesling work well. Ensure it’s well-chilled.
- Sweetness: This Bellini gets sweetness from the fruit, wine, and schnapps. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of simple syrup or agave nectar before blending.
- Blender: A high-speed blender works best for crushing frozen fruit and ice smoothly.
- Storage: This frozen cocktail is best served immediately after blending.
