How to Make a Bellini When Peaches Are Not in Season
The traditional Bellini is a mixture of pureed fresh white peaches and Prosecco, a dry, sparkling Italian wine. This cocktail has proved to be endlessly versatile over the decades, however, and you have several options if you want to make a Bellini when peaches are not in season. Canned peaches, available year-round, are guaranteed to be sweet, juicy and easily pureed, making them a top choice for your Bellinis. Frozen peaches are an alternative if you want to make frozen Bellinis, and fresh strawberries offer an entirely new take on the classic cocktail.
