Bellini Spritz (Easy Elderflower + Peach Spritz)
The Bellini Spritz is a fun, floral twist on a classic peach bellini! Made with fresh peach, elderflower liqueur and prosecco, this cocktail is going to be your go-to summer brunch drink.
If you love summer spritzes, you’ll also want to try my Strawberry Limoncello Spritz and Aperol Peach Spritz.
I’ve always preferred a peach bellini to a mimosa, so now that peach season has arrived, I wanted to expand on the traditional pairing of peach puree and prosecco. My spritzy variation adds elderflower liqueur and sparkling water, which are the perfect complement to fresh peach. For a fun presentation, I made these an open can cocktail by using a soft edge can opener.

Tips for Making a Bellini Spritz

- Peel peaches before blending and you can skip the straining step.
Peach Puree Notes and Tips
Fresh peach puree definitely has the best flavor, especially when peaches are in season. Bellinis are traditionally made with white peaches, but ripe yellow peaches also work well. If you can’t find great peaches, you have other options.
Frozen peaches are a great alternative—just fully defrost before blending. If using frozen fruit, you may not need to add water.
If you want to skip the blending step, bottled peach nectar is also an option. Peach nectar often has added sweetener so you may need to play with the quantity to find the perfect flavor ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Add canned peaches and their juices to a blender and blend until smooth. For best results, use canned peaches in 100% juice.
Yes! Substitute prosecco for non-alcoholic prosecco or sparkling water. Mionetto’s non-alcoholic prosecco is my absolute favorite. Swap elderflower liqueur for elderflower cordial or syrup.”
Bellinis can be made with any sparkling white wine but you can generally get a higher quality prosecco for a reasonable price. I like a brut or extra dry prosecco. My favorites are Mionetto and La Marca. Good quality champagne tends to be more expensive and you don’t need the most expensive bottle for bellinis since you’re adding other ingredients.
