Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe peaches (or any other fresh fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 750 milliliters Prosecco (chilled)
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional, for blending)
Instructions
Peel the peaches by blanching: bring a small pot of water to a boil, score a small 'X' on the bottom of each peach, and place them in the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Transfer immediately to an ice bath and gently peel off the skins.
Cut the peeled peaches into small chunks, removing the pits.
In a blender, combine the peach chunks, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until very smooth, about 1-2 minutes. If desired, add 1 cup of ice to make the mixture colder and slightly slushy.
Strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or large measuring cup to remove any pulp or fibrous bits. This step ensures a smooth texture.
To assemble the Vellini, pour about 2-3 tablespoons of the peach purée into a champagne flute or wine glass.
Slowly top the glass with chilled Prosecco, pouring gently to avoid a fizzy overflow. Stir lightly with a spoon to combine.
Repeat with the remaining purée and Prosecco for the other servings.
Serve immediately, garnished with a peach slice or mint leaf, if desired.
