peach bellini 011fix2W

Ingredients:

350g tinned peach slices, in fruit juices

750ml pink champagne

80ml strawberry liqueur

 

Method:

1. Add the peaches and their juice to a food processor. Whiz for a few minutes until really smooth. Add the strawberry liqueur and mix to combine.

2. Divide peach puree among glasses. Gently top them up with champagne (be careful  as it can easily bubble over). Decorate with maraschino cherries and mint leaves.

 

Who doesn’t love a great Bellini? This one is especially delicious, using chilled pink champagne, peach puree and a dash of strawberry liqueur! This is my twist on the classic Bellini recipe.
