Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (or thawed frozen raspberries)
- 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 bottles (750ml each) chilled prosecco or sparkling wine
- Optional: sparkling rosé or brut champagne
- Fresh raspberries (for topping)
- Sliced strawberries
- Thin orange or lemon slices
- Mint sprigs
- Edible flowers (such as pansies or violets)
- Extra lemon or lime wedges
- Sparkling water (for nonalcoholic Bellinis)
Instructions
- Make the Raspberry Puree: Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Make the Simple Syrup: Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, add vanilla if using, and let cool.
- Prepare the Bar Toppings: Wash and dry all fruits. Slice strawberries, oranges, and lemons. Arrange berries, citrus, mint, and edible flowers in bowls or plates.
- Chill the Prosecco: Place bottles in an ice bucket 30 minutes before serving.
- Set Up the Bellini Bar: Arrange pitchers of puree and syrup, toppings, glasses, and spoons on your serving area. Keep prosecco chilled and handy.
- Assemble the Raspberry Bellinis: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons raspberry puree into a flute, add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon simple syrup, top with 4-5 oz chilled prosecco, stir gently, and garnish with toppings.
- Troubleshooting: Stir gently if puree sinks. Adjust sweetness or tartness with syrup or lemon juice. For nonalcoholic, use sparkling water or ginger ale.
Notes
Strain raspberry puree for a smooth drink. Chill all ingredients and glasses for best results. Prep purees and syrups ahead, but slice fruit and open prosecco just before serving. For nonalcoholic, use sparkling water or ginger ale. Leftover puree and syrup can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen in ice cube trays.
