What Is a Frozen Peach Bellini?
The traditional Bellini was born in Venice, Italy, combining peach purée and prosecco. The Frozen Peach Bellini is the modern, more playful version. Instead of purée, we use frozen peaches and ice to create a smoothie-like texture. Add a splash of peach schnapps and bubbly prosecco, and you’ve got a frozen brunch classic with a boozy upgrade.
Whether you’re toasting a summer brunch or cooling off with friends, it’s the perfect combination of celebration and refreshment.

Best Prosecco for a Perfect Bellini
The kind of prosecco you use can totally change your Frozen Peach Bellini experience. For a crisp, clean finish, go for a Brut prosecco—it’s dry and won’t overpower the sweetness of the peaches. Prefer something sweeter? Opt for an Extra Dry or Demi-Sec prosecco to make the drink more dessert-like. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s well-chilled for that refreshing, fizzy texture that makes this drink pop.
Frozen Fruit vs. Fresh Peaches
While fresh summer peaches are amazing, frozen peaches are actually better for this recipe. Why? They create a slushier texture and don’t require peeling, slicing, or pitting. Plus, frozen fruit is picked at peak ripeness and quickly preserved, so you get all the flavor with zero fuss. And if you’re craving a twist, try adding a few frozen mango chunks or a splash of orange juice for added complexity.
