What Is a Bellini?
A Bellini is a classic Italian cocktail made with peach purée and sparkling Prosecco, traditionally served in champagne flutes. It was invented in Venice in the 1940s and has since become a brunch staple around the world. This frozen version takes that original flavor and gives it a Cheesecake Factory-style twist—icy, refreshing, and ideal for summer sipping.
Best Peaches for a Bellini
The best peaches for a Bellini are ripe, juicy, and full of natural sweetness. Yellow peaches give you that rich, fresh peachy flavor, while white peaches are a little more delicate and floral. Bonus points if they’re local and in-season.
When choosing fresh peaches, they should feel heavy for their size and give slightly to the touch. No ripe ones? Let them sit in a paper bag on the counter for a day or two.

Ingredients You’ll Need
- Peaches. You can use fresh or frozen peaches. If you use fresh peaches, you’ll need to add some ice to thicken it.
- Lemon juice. Again, fresh is best, but you can use bottled if that’s all you have.
- Sugar. If your peaches are quite sweet, you can probably skip it.
- Peach Schnapps. You can also substitute with peach liqueur.
- Prosecco. You can use any sparkling white wine.
- Ice. If you used frozen peaches you may not need any ice.
How to Freeze Fresh Peaches for Cocktails
If you want the best texture and flavor, freezing your own peaches is the way to go. Here’s how I do it:
- Wash and slice the peaches (no need to peel—unless you prefer it).
- Lay the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze until solid, about 2–3 hours.
- Transfer to a zip-top freezer bag, label it, and stash in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- This method keeps the slices from sticking together and makes it easy to grab what you need for a cocktail or smoothie.
How To Make A Frozen Peach Bellini
- BLEND frozen peaches, lemon juice, sugar, and Peach Schnapps in a high-speed blender until smooth.
- ADD Prosecco and blend again – just for a few seconds.
- POUR the blended mixture into glasses.
- GARNISH with a fresh peach slice if you’re feeling fancy and serve immediately.

Tips
- Plan ahead and freeze fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- Blend until creamy and smooth.
- Add ice cubes if you want a thicker drink.
- Serve right away—you want it frosty and bubbly.
Variations
- Tropical Twist: Swap in frozen mango or pineapple.
- Zingy Kick: Add a small chunk of fresh ginger before blending.
- Mocktail Version: Use sparkling grape juice or non-alcoholic wine instead of Prosecco.

Behind the Recipe
While I was testing this recipe, my father-in-law happened to stop by. He’s not a cocktail guy—but he was curious. I handed him a spoonful to taste, and without hesitation, he asked for a whole glass. If a frozen peach drink can win over someone who’d rather have coffee at happy hour, you know you’re on the right track.
What to Serve with a Peach Bellini
This frozen peach bellini is perfect on its own, but if you’re serving it as part of a brunch or happy hour spread, here are some pairing ideas:
- A light fruit and cheese board
- Sourdough pancakes or buttermilk Belgian waffles
- Fresh melon and prosciutto skewers
- Mini quiches or breakfast bites
It also makes a great welcome drink for bridal showers or backyard BBQs.
