What Is a Frozen Peach Bellini Cocktail?

A Frozen Peach Bellini is a blended variation of the traditional Bellini, featuring frozen peaches, Prosecco, and simple syrup for a slushy, sophisticated brunch cocktail. Giuseppe Cipriani wasn’t thinking about frozen cocktails when he invented the Bellini at Harry’s Bar in Venice during the 1940s – he was inspired by the soft peachy tones in Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini’s paintings. We doubt he’d mind that we borrowed his masterpiece and gave it the summery slushy treatment it deserves.

What you’ll love about this recipe:

  • SEASONAL – The frozen texture transforms a classic aperitif into a cooling summer indulgence without losing its elegant character.
  • EASY – This cocktail requires minimal ingredients and prep time, allowing you to focus on enjoying your guests rather than playing bartender all day.

What You Need to Make a Frozen Peach Bellini

  • Frozen Peaches: Using pre-frozen peaches simplifies the process and ensures consistent texture.
  • Ice: Just enough to achieve the perfect slushy consistency without diluting the flavors.
  • Simple Syrup: Balances the natural tartness of the peaches and integrates seamlessly.
  • Prosecco: The effervescent backbone of any proper Bellini – select a dry or extra dry for best results.
  • Fresh Peach Slices: Not just a garnish, but an aromatic enhancement to each sip.

How to Make a Frozen Peach Bellini Drink

  1. Combine frozen peaches, ice, simple syrup, and Prosecco in your blender.
  2. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency – usually 30-45 seconds.
  3. Pour immediately into chilled champagne flutes or coupe glasses.
  4. Garnish with a fresh peach slice balanced delicately on the rim.
  • Simple syrup is poured from a small cup into a blender with ice and peach slices, while additional peaches sit on the countertop.
  • Prosecco is being poured into a blender with sliced peaches, while a bowl of peaches and kitchen items are visible in the background.
  • A blender filled with peach bellini sits on a countertop, casting palm leaf shadows on the light-colored wall.
  • A thick peach bellini with specks is poured into a clear glass on a pink surface.

Expert Recipe Tips

  • Tip 1: Chill your glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving to maintain the frozen consistency longer.
  • Tip 2: For a less sweet version, substitute the simple syrup with a splash of peach liqueur or reduce the amount by half.
  • Tip 3: Blend in small batches rather than doubling the recipe to maintain the perfect texture and prevent over-processing.

Recipe FAQs

How far in advance can I prepare Frozen Peach Bellinis?

We recommend blending these cocktails immediately before serving. However, you can prep all ingredients and have them ready to blend when guests arrive.

Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Yes, but you’ll need to add more ice to achieve the frozen consistency, which may dilute the flavor. If using fresh peaches, we suggest freezing them for at least 2 hours before blending.

What’s the difference between a Bellini and a Mimosa?

A Bellini features peach purée and Prosecco, while a Mimosa combines orange juice with champagne. The Frozen Peach Bellini adds the element of blended ice for a slushy texture.

Which Prosecco works best for this cocktail?

Select a dry (brut) or extra dry Prosecco to balance the sweetness of the peaches. Higher quality Proseccos with fine bubbles will contribute to a more refined final product.
