This peach version is the one to make when you want that classic Bellini feel. It’s fruity, bubbly, and soft in flavor, with the peach taking center stage.
Ingredients
- 1 oz fresh peach purée
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 4 oz sparkling cider or non-alcoholic prosecco
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice, optional
- Peach slice or mint sprig, for garnish
Instructions
Add the peach purée and simple syrup to a chilled champagne flute. If you’re making the purée ahead of time, stir in a little lemon juice to help preserve the color and brighten the flavor. Slowly top with sparkling cider or non-alcoholic prosecco, then stir very gently to combine. Garnish with a peach slice or mint sprig and serve immediately. Homemade Food Junkie
Pro tip
For the best texture and presentation, chill both the glass and the ingredients before pouring. A slow pour helps keep the drink from foaming over, which is especially helpful when working with fruit purée and sparkling mixers. Mindful Mocktail
2) Raspberry Virgin Bellini

If you want something a little brighter and more modern, this raspberry version is a great pick. It keeps the Bellini’s bubbly personality but adds a deeper fruit flavor and a beautiful pink color.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 bottle non-alcoholic sparkling rosé or sparkling wine
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
- Mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
Blend the raspberries until smooth. Divide the raspberry purée between champagne flutes, then slowly pour in the non-alcoholic sparkling rosé. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint, and serve right away while the bubbles are lively. Surely
Optional smoother version
If you want a silkier finish, make a raspberry purée by blending raspberries with a little water, honey, and lemon juice, then press it through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds before topping with alcohol-free bubbly. That technique gives you a smoother, more cocktail-style texture. Renee Nicole’s Kitchen
Tips for the best Virgin Bellinis
The best Virgin Bellinis are served very cold and poured gently. Fruit purée naturally traps bubbles, so slow pouring matters. If you’re making these for a party, prep the purée in advance and keep it chilled, then add the sparkling component just before serving so the drinks stay fresh and fizzy.

You can also customize the sparkling element based on the crowd. Non-alcoholic prosecco or sparkling wine gives the most grown-up feel, while sparkling cider, sparkling grape juice, ginger ale, or lemon-lime soda can make the drink sweeter and more family-friendly.

When to serve them
