🕒 Prep Time & Portions
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Servings: 5–6 glasses
📝 Ingredients
- 1 bottle of Italian Prosecco (chilled)
- 1 white peach (preferably vine-ripened)
- 1 tsp raspberry puree
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Chill the Prosecco and glasses:
Refrigerate the Prosecco until very cold. Also chill your champagne flutes in the fridge or freeze them for 10 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing experience. - Prepare the peach puree:
Blanch the peach by placing it in boiling water for 20 seconds, then immediately transfer to cold water. This makes peeling the skin easier. Remove the skin and the stone, then place the peach flesh and raspberry puree in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. - Assemble the cocktail:
Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the peach-raspberry puree into each glass. Slowly pour chilled Prosecco over the puree. - Serve immediately:
Enjoy this refreshing cocktail right away to appreciate the bubbly texture and fresh fruit flavors at their best.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Substitute raspberry puree with fresh raspberries muddled gently if preferred.
- Add a sprig of fresh mint or basil for a fragrant twist.
- For a less sweet version, dilute the puree slightly with sparkling water before adding to the glass.
- Try other stone fruits like nectarines or apricots as seasonal alternatives.
