Perfect for brunch or summertime sipping, my frozen Peach Bellini recipe uses just 4 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make and includes instructions for making in advance.
Frozen Peach Bellini
While I may not be personally imbibing in any Peach Bellinis right now, frozen or otherwise (🤰), with the weather warming up and my craving for icy beverages through the roof, I thought it might be a good time to reshare this old recipe from the archives. I’ve been making it every summer for years and it’s always a refreshing hit at parties. If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s your sign!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Not your average Peach Bellini. Don’t get me wrong, the basic is wonderful, but my version gives you extra refreshing, icy, slushy results.
- Only 4 ingredients! It really couldn’t be lower maintenance, yet produces flavorful results every time.
- Quick and easy: simply add all ingredients to a blender, and blend! That’s my kind of drink!
- Can be made in advance! While this drink wasn’t designed for making in advance (it’s no sweet tea or lemonade), I share some fun tips for making a frozen slushy version in advance.
What You Need
You’ll only need four ingredients for this recipe. Don’t you just love it when things are simple?
- Peaches. Use frozen peaches, as that’s where the frostiness for this drink comes from.
- Prosecco. Prosecco is a fruity sparkling wine that pairs perfectly l with the peach flavors in this drink. Moscato d’Asti or champagne could also be used in a pinch. Or, if you’d like to make a non-alcoholic version of this drink, you can substitute the Prosecco with ginger ale, sprite, or sparkling grape juice.
- Peach schnapps. This is not necessarily a traditional ingredient, but I love the flavor that it adds, as well as the extra bite! You could just leave it out for a less boozy beverage.
- Sugar. Just a little bit helps bring out the sweetness of the peaches and actually helps their natural flavor shine.
SAM’S TIP: Some people like to add raspberries or strawberries to their Bellini. I personally like to save mine for garnish, but you can always toss them in the blender too (it makes a pretty rosy-sunset color!).
This is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why. For the full recipe please scroll down to the bottom of the post!
How to Make a Peach Bellini
- Add the peaches, schnapps, and sugar to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and well combined. If the peaches aren’t pureeing, add a few splashes of the prosecco to help things along.
- Add the Prosecco and blitz briefly until well incorporated. Yes, the Prosecco will lose some carbonation and things will get a bit foamy on top, this isn’t a problem with the icy version of this drink.
- Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh strawberries if desired, then serve.
SAM’S TIP: I’ve included instructions below on how to turn this recipe into Peach Bellini granitas too–yum!
Frequently Asked Questions
Both are very similar, with a mimosa containing orange juice and champagne, while a Bellini use Prosecco and peach puree. And a fuzzy navel is almost a combination of the two!
I suppose you could, though you technically wouldn’t be making a Peach Bellini at that point. I’d love to hear what other fruits you try and how it goes though!
Frozen Peach Bellinis are best enjoyed immediately after making, but if I want to have this ready in advance for a party I simply turn it into a granita (like a boozy, frozen slushy) instead. Just make it as indicated, pour it into a glass 13×9 dish, and stir it with a fork every hour for 3-4 hours (cover the dish with plastic wrap to keep from absorbing any freezer odors). It will keep for weeks or even months this way!
If you’re looking for more frozen drinks, try my strawberries & cream daiquiris next (indulgent but oh-so good!)!

Brendon
Bellinis should be quite boozy but taste like a kid friendly sweet peach slush. this one tasted like booze with a little bit of peach flavor!
Sam
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy them, Brendon! 🙁 Did you make any adjustments? Did your frozen peaches have a good flavor? Did you use a quality schnapps?
Simone

Pat Phillips
Hi – since we’re coming right into peach season, can I use fresh peaches? Should I slice and briefly freeze them before making the Bellinis? I just love Bellinis! Why does anyone order anything else at brunch?
Sam
Hi Pat! This is a slushy type of drink so you wouldn’t get the same kind of texture/chill with the fresh peaches but they will work. 🙂
Terrio
All ready to make this frozen drink only to realize I all out of peach schnapps. Could I use a substitute liquor?
Sam
Hi Terrio! You could use a substitute liquor but keep in mind that the peach schnapps add to the flavor so you will be altering the flavor a bit. 🙂
Brook
Made this for my girlfriend, who is a peach Bellini fiend. I made it twice, to substitute with a sweeter sparkling wine. This drink rivals the kind you can get at a restaurant.
Sam
I’m so happy to hear that it was such a hit, Brook! Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know how it turned out for you, I really appreciate it 🙂
O-MAC
Really good drink. I added ice to the blender. Awesome on a hot day.
Sam
So glad that you enjoyed it!
