Autumn Bellini
The Autumn Bellini is a seasonal twist on the classic Bellini, featuring the rich flavors of ripe peaches combined with the warm spices of autumn. This refreshing cocktail is perfect for fall gatherings and celebrations!
Equipment
- Blender
- Fine mesh sieve (optional)
- Mixing glass

Ingredients
- 4 oz ripe peach puree
- 8 oz sparkling wine (Prosecco or Champagne)
- 1 oz apple cider
- 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
- cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Instructions
- In a blender, combine ripe peaches (peeled and pitted) and blend until smooth. You should have about 4 oz of peach puree. If desired, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
- In a large mixing glass, combine the peach puree, apple cider, and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.

- Enjoy the Autumn Bellini immediately while it's chilled and bubbly.
Notes
For a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of apple cider to taste. You can also experiment by adding a splash of flavored liqueur such as peach schnapps for an extra kick.
