Want to drink something fruity and a little fancy just because? Pour yourself a glass and head out to your balcony or backyard to soak up the spring weather. Believe it or not you only need two ingredients to make this bellini cocktail. Make sure yourstrawberries are ripe, but not overripe.
Traditional Bellinis are a champagne cocktail that combines the sparkling alcohol with peach nectar. This recipe is just like that, only I make it with strawberry syrup. YUM! The sweet syrup is really easy to make with only three ingredients! Just combine ripe strawberries, sugar and water in a sauce pan and boil while stirring constantly. I love the idea of setting it out in a pretty dressing container with a bottle of champagne and let guests mix their own cocktails.

Otherwise, break up the strawberries with a fork and allow the syrup to boil for about three minutes over low heat, stirring often. Transfer to a blender, blend, and strain through a mesh strainer. For a cleaner syrup, strain through a cheese cloth.
Blend until smooth or until mixture meets desired texture. Add ice or more fruit to thicken or more Prosecco or some club soda to thin. With just two ingredients and a lot of bubbles, a strawberry bellini is the perfect bridal shower brunch drink.
Make distilled water at home
Stir the fruit every so often so it doesn’t burn or stick to the saucepan. Say I love you with fruit bellinis. TO SERVE Pour 1½cm of strawberry purée into each glass, then half-fill each one with fizz and gently stir together. Top up each glass with fizz to order, as and when your guests desire a drink. GET AHEAD Hull the strawberries and blitz in a blender until smooth, then pass through a sieve into a nice jug and refrigerate overnight.
You won't be able to pour all the champagne at once due to the bubbles. Stir to combine after the first pour, then top with bubbly. Brighten up your brunch table with this easy strawberry bellini. It takes no time to make and is fresh, colorful and the perfect springtime sip. Our rendition of the classic bellini substitutes strawberries for the traditional peaches.

The tide was out and Piazza San Marco was abuzz with tourists. Karen and I sipped on our peach bellinis near where they were first served, at the famous Harry’s Bar. If you have extra puree, freeze it in ice cube trays. You will want approximately 3 tablespoons per 4-ounce pour of sparkling wine. The off-season strawberries also need a little extra flavor to make them pop.
It takes very little effort and looks beautiful on a brunch table. The bellini originated in Italy and was named after a Venetian painter, and was made with a puree of white peaches and prosecco. You can make bellinis by replacing peaches with other fruits including strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, mandarins, and pomegranate. I want ALL of the frozen drinks this time of year! The Bellini has always been one of my favorite cocktails and a frozen Bellini is the perfect, simple summer cocktail.

Step 2Place 1/4 cup strawberry mixture in each of 6 glasses. This quick and easy Strawberry Bellini is the ultimate celebration cocktail! Two simple ingredients combine for a refreshing sparkly drink to make your celebration complete. You might be looking at the ingredients and thinking this looks kind of like a mimosa.
But I reallllllly loved these, and enjoyed our evening together. We have had a couple of below 70 days, which is really nothing, but has been so welcomed. Summer’s almost over, but there’s still time to enjoy just a little more warm weather. But as it turns out, this Belmonti bellini variant is not entirely a new offering.
If I wanted to mix this with sparkling grape juice instead, I would add a little grenadine or a flavorful juice to the puree to make it completely non-alcoholic. From chips and dip to one-bite apps, finger foods are the perfect way to kick off a party. No forks or spoons required, just easy-to-pick-up party foods, so you can clean up in no time. I suggest that you make a variety of fruit purees and then set up a Bellini Bar to allow your guests to pick their favorite fruit flavors.
Y’all, I’m counting down the days until spring has sprung. For my husband who feels no brunch is complete without eggs I’ll serve this creamy swiss chard and eggs dish.
