This Easy Peach Bellini Mocktail is perfect for summer! It’s a refreshing mix of peach puree and sparkling water, giving you all the fruity vibes without the alcohol.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are the star of this drink. If peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches can work too! Just thaw them and blend. I’ve even tried using nectarines for a twist, and they taste great too!
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a nice zing. If you’re in a pinch, bottled lemon juice is okay, but fresh is always best. You can also try lime juice for a sweeter, tropical vibe.
Honey or Agave Syrup: This is optional based on the sweetness of your peaches. If you want a vegan option, agave syrup is an excellent choice. Maple syrup can also be fun to experiment with for a different flavor.
Sparkling Water: For bubbles, chilled sparkling water is ideal. If you want extra flavor, try flavored sparkling water or even ginger ale! It adds a nice touch and plays well with the peach.
How Do I Make the Perfect Peach Puree?
Creating a smooth peach puree is essential for this mocktail. Start by peeling and chopping ripe peaches. The riper they are, the sweeter your puree will be!
- Blend the chopped peaches with lemon juice until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water to help it blend.
- Adjust the sweetness with honey or agave to your taste. Taste as you go, and remember, peach sweetness can vary!
Once your puree is ready, you’re all set to mix and enjoy your refreshing mocktail!
