Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups of peaches, peeled and sliced or 1 (16-ounce) bag of frozen peaches, thawed
- 2 cups of strawberries, halved or 1 (16-ounce) bag of frozen strawberries, thawed
- 2 cups of pink or red grapefruit, sliced or 1 (16-ounce) jar of sliced grapefruit, no sugar added
- 2-4 (750 ml) bottles prosecco, chilled
- Fresh peaches, strawberries and grapefruit, for garnish
Directions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, make a simple syrup by combining the water and sugar. Stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cool completely.
- Peel and slice peaches, place into a blender and puree with a half-cup of the simple syrup until completely smooth. If using frozen peaches, make sure they are thawed then puree with the same amount of simple syrup.
- Strain the peach mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator.
- Hull and halve strawberries, place into a clean blender and puree with one-third cup simple syrup until smooth. If using frozen strawberries, make sure they are thawed then puree with the same amount of simple syrup.
- Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator.
- Cut grapefruit into segments, place into a clean blender and puree with one-third cup simple syrup until smooth. If using a jar of grapefruit, make sure they are the no-sugar added variety then puree with the same amount of simple syrup.
- Strain the grapefruit mixture through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator.
- For each Bellini, pour a quarter-cup of the preferred fruit puree into a fluted glass. Slowly pour Prosecco into the flute until full, taking care it does not bubble over. Gently stir the drink, garnish with the matching fruit and serve.
- Purees can be made one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
- To allow guests to make their own Bellini, pour the purees into decorative jars with a spout and place the fruit garnishes next to each fruit puree. Have the prosecco bottles on hand and glass flutes.
