Easy and Refreshing Peach & Strawberry Bellini Mocktail

by

Happy almost first day of Summer! These peach and strawberry Bellini mocktails are the perfect way to celebrate and stay cool! Traditionally, peach Bellinis have a peach puree base and are topped with Prosecco. Created sometime between 1934-1948 in Venice, Italy this pinkish-hued cocktail became a sensation almost instantly, and remains a classic to this day. I wanted to recreate this cocktail with a fun twist, strawberries! Strawberries are now in season and brighten up almost any recipe with their sweet and juicy profile. They not only provide the sweetness of this mocktail, but they also give it a vibrant colored base as well. The strawberry and peach purees sit on top of each other and give a fun mosaic sand art vibe that is just as amusing for the kids as it is for the adults! Topped with club soda, you still get the bubbly ambiance of the classic cocktail, but without the alcohol. I recommend making these one at a time versus a whole pitcher, as the ice will melt and will separate the purees as it sits. Prosecco and Champagne are not SCD approved because of the yeast that is used to make them. However, if you partake feel free to swap the club soda with alcoholic bubbles. These Bellini mocktails are sure to be the life of any summer celebration! Enjoy!
