Brazilian Bellini
Introduction
Elevate your next gathering or brunch with a Brazilian Bellini—a tropical twist on the iconic Italian cocktail.

The blend of Brazilian flavors turns the classic Bellini into something delightfully unique, making it an instant crowd-pleaser and the perfect centerpiece for festive occasions.
Why You’ll Love This Brazilian Bellini
The Brazilian Bellini swaps traditional peaches for luscious fruits like mango or peach, resulting in a cocktail that’s fragrant, refreshing, and bursting with sun-kissed sweetness. The smooth purée melds seamlessly with chilled sparkling wine, creating a beverage that’s as visually stunning as it is tasty. Best of all, this recipe comes together in minutes, allowing you to serve a sophisticated cocktail without breaking a sweat.
Crafting the Perfect Fruit Purée
To ensure your Bellini is silky and intensely flavorful, choose ripe, high-quality mangoes or peach. Blend the fruit with a touch of sugar and lime juice until completely smooth. For the best texture and fastest prep, use the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender. Its powerful blades will produce an ultra-smooth purée, ensuring your cocktail is never grainy.
If you’re prepping ahead or planning for a party, transfer your purée to Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep it fresh and vibrant in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the drinks.
Mixing and Serving Your Brazilian Bellini
Chill your sparkling wine or Prosecco thoroughly before assembling. Pour a couple of tablespoons of fruit purée into each flute, then slowly top with sparkling wine. Stir gently to combine for the perfect effervescent layer.
For a flawless presentation, use a Rapid Egg Cooker as a makeshift fruit holder or garnish station for sliced mango, peach wedges, or fresh mint. Keep your hands tidy and your prep area pristine with Homaxy 100% Cotton Waffle Weave Kitchen Dish Cloths, perfect for wiping away any drips.
Brazilian Bellini Serving Ideas
These cocktails shine at garden parties, showers, or weekend brunches. Arrange a platter of tropical fruit next to your drink station for a decorative—and delicious—touch. Serve your Bellinis in tall, slender glasses to maximize bubbles, or in a Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler if you’re serving outdoors and want to keep your drink cold.
For a non-alcoholic variation, substitute coconut water or sparkling lemonade for a mocktail that everyone can enjoy.
