Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Prosecco or sparkling wine
- 150 ml Pear purée
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 unit Pear slices or rosemary sprigs (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine pear purée, honey, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse until slightly chilled and slushy. Alternatively, you can chill the purée mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
To assemble the bellinis, pour about 2 tablespoons of the pear purée mixture into the bottom of each champagne flute or cocktail glass.
Slowly top with Prosecco or sparkling wine, pouring gently to avoid overflow and to preserve the bubbles.
Stir lightly with a swizzle stick or spoon to mix the purée into the sparkling wine.
Garnish each glass with a thin pear slice or a sprig of rosemary for a festive presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the holiday cheer!
