- Strawberry Purée: 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and halved), 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Bellini Base: 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine, ½ cup chilled club soda (optional)
- Garnishes & Mix-Ins: ½ cup fresh raspberries, ½ cup sliced strawberries, 6 fresh mint sprigs, 1 lemon (thinly sliced)
- Optional Flavor Add-Ins: ½ cup peach purée, ¼ cup orange juice, 2 tbsp elderflower liqueur (such as St-Germain)
Instructions
- 1. Make the Strawberry Purée
- In a blender, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. Strain through a fine sieve for a silky texture, if preferred. Chill until ready to use.
- 2. Prepare the Bellini Bar
- Arrange the strawberry purée, garnishes, and optional add-ins in small bowls or pitchers on your brunch table.
- 3. Pour the Prosecco
- Place chilled Prosecco (and club soda, if using) in an ice bucket near the bar.
- 4. Build Your Bellini
- For each drink, spoon 2–3 tablespoons of strawberry purée into a champagne flute. Top slowly with Prosecco, tilting the glass to minimize foam. Stir gently to combine.
- 5. Customize
- Offer guests the option to add peach purée, orange juice, elderflower liqueur, or their choice of fruit garnishes and mint.
- 6. Serve
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure a smooth service, you can make the strawberry and peach purées up to 2 days in advance and keep them stored in the refrigerator. Using a fine mesh sieve is an excellent way to achieve a professional, silky texture by removing any strawberry seeds.
Varianten und Anpassungen
This bar is easily adaptable for everyone. For a non-alcoholic version, simply substitute the Prosecco with chilled sparkling water or a premium non-alcoholic sparkling wine. You can also vary the fruit profile by offering different juices or swapping the elderflower liqueur for other floral or fruit spirits.
Serviervorschläge
These Bellinis pair beautifully with a classic savory quiche or sweet brunch pastries like croissants and fruit tarts. To keep the experience refreshing, ensure the Prosecco stays tucked into an ice bucket near your serving station throughout the party.
Pin It Gather your favorite people, pop the cork, and enjoy the creative process of making these delightful drinks. This Strawberry Bellini Bar is the perfect center-piece for a memorable Galentine's celebration filled with laughter and good taste. Cheers!
