Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 bottle Sparkling wine (Prosecco or Champagne)
- 6 pieces Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh raspberries thoroughly and place them in a small saucepan.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down into a sauce-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the raspberry mixture to cool slightly.
Once cooled, use a fine mesh sieve to strain the raspberry mixture into a bowl, discarding the seeds. This will leave you with a smooth raspberry puree.
Chill the raspberry puree in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to ensure it is cold when mixing the Bellinis.
To assemble the Bellinis, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chilled raspberry puree into the bottom of a champagne flute.
Slowly top with sparkling wine, pouring gently down the side of the glass to minimize foam and preserve the bubbles.
Gently stir each glass to combine the puree and sparkling wine.
Garnish with a fresh raspberry and a mint leaf, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
