Method
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them. If you have frozen peaches, they can go straight into the blender without thawing.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the frozen or fresh peaches, peach nectar, and fresh lime juice. If you're using fresh peaches, add a handful of ice cubes for a frosty texture. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Bubbles
Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher. Slowly add the Prosecco or sparkling wine, stirring gently to combine. You want to keep those bubbles intact, so be careful not to over-mix!
Step 4: Serve
Pour the Frozen Peach Bellini into serving glasses. You can garnish with a mint leaf or a slice of peach on the rim of the glass for a touch of elegance.
Variations
Berry Bellini: Substitute peaches with frozen mixed berries (like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) for a fruity twist.
Tropical Bellini: Replace peach nectar with mango or pineapple juice and use tropical fruits in the blender.
Herbal Twist: Add a few basil leaves to the blender for a unique flavor profile.
Tips and Substitutions
For a Healthier Option: Use unsweetened peach nectar or fresh fruit juice instead of regular peach nectar to reduce sugar content.
Make it Dairy-Free: This recipe is naturally dairy-free, making it suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals.
Non-Alcoholic Version: Swap Prosecco with sparkling water or soda for a refreshing mocktail.

Troubleshooting Tips
Too Thick? If your Bellini is too thick, add a splash more peach nectar or sparkling wine to thin it out.
Not Sweet Enough? Taste the mixture before serving; if it needs sweetness, you can blend in a little honey or agave syrup until you reach your desired flavor.
Too Watery? If you find your Bellini is too watery, try using frozen fruits instead of fresh ones or reduce the amount of liquid added.
