So today we’re not cooking with booze.
We’re just going to drink it.
Normally a bellini is made with peach puree. Who says we have to use peaches? I happen to have a bunch of nectarines, so that’s how we’re gonna roll.
Happy Friday, Y’all!
Nectarine Bellini
Ingredients
- 2 nectarines peeled, pitted, roughly chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 1 bottle prosecco
Instructions
-
Toss nectarines into a blender and puree - if you have a fancy pants high speed blender - well then good for you, hot shot - for the rest of us using a Cuisinart, do your best and add enough water to thin it to the consistency of your liking
-
Transfer 1 - 1/1/2 teaspoon nectarine puree to each champagne glass and top with prosecco - you know that stuff overflows in a heartbeat, right? Be careful or be prepared to clean up on aisle 3

I love that you switched up a regular bellini, Rachelle! This is such a great idea to use nectarines. And since it’s also Friday, this is just calling my name! Sounds so refreshing!

Wait…we can’t cook with booze today? Well then Friday is shot! Haha…just kidding! These sound delicious. I can’t remember the last time I had a nectarine. I should pick some up at the store today just to make this bellini!

Even I can’t cook with booze every day – so I just drink it instead!
