Bellini Recipe"Absolutely FANTASTIC"
This bellini recipe is awesome. I made these for our Valentine's dinner.
Before Valentine's Day, I'd only had bellinis at the Bellagio, Las Vegas.
So, when I looked up how to make an authentic bellini - I was a tad surprised. It called for
white peach puree. And the best way to make this IS with white peach puree. Really!
Okay, I know white peaches aren't available just everywhere. So - how bout with normal peach puree? OK, so no peaches at all? I put the peach schnapps version in here too. These bellinis are so good I wished I would have purchased two bottles of champagne. One for me. One for my husband. One thing to note, the fresh white peach puree will make the drink murky - as you can see in the photo. Yes, the peach schnapps version does look pretty and but it tastes kinda "meh". Any cheap bar could make it. So, only use it as a back up. Go for fresh peaches if you can! And white peaches are even better! A few creative ideas for some substitutions are in the section below. Plus a few tips. Bellini RecipeIngredients: * 2 ozs of puréed white peaches * 6 ozs champagne The Workaround Bellini YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: * 2 ozs of peach schnapps * 6 ozs champagne Puree or juice the peaches?Doesn't really matter. I'm a Type A Over Achiever - so I juiced mine in my
ultra sonic super duper juicer. BUT really, a blender on puree would be perfect.
What type of peach is the best?The classic bellini recipe calls for white peaches. Fresh white peaches.
We live fairly close
to white peach orchards. So I puree in the summer and freeze to have whenever.
All to say, the classic recipe calls for white peaches pureed.
So I'd say truly the white peach flavor
is supreme!
Second choice would be a *normal* peach. And the peach schnapps version would be the back up, b-string, J-V team choice. Italian Drinks
