How to Make a Non-Alcoholic Bellini

Hailing from Italy, the Bellini combines peach puree with sparkling wine to create a refreshing cocktail. When you make a non-alcoholic Bellini, you replace the sparkling whine with sparkling grape juice. Best of all, you don't need to measure any ingredients.

Things You'll Need

• Champagne flute
• Peach juice, chilled
• Sparkling white grape juice, chilled
• Swizzle stick
• Sparkling white grape juice
• Peach juice

Instructions

1. Chill the peach juice and the sparkling juice before beginning to make a non-alcoholic Bellini. The Bellini is meant to be a cool, refreshing drink.

2. Ready a champagne flute. A champagne flute is like a wine glass, but the bowl is much narrower.

3. Pour peach juice into the champagne flute, filling it halfway.

4. Fill the rest of the way with non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice.

5. Mix the juices with a swizzle stick. Be careful not to slop the non-alcoholic Bellini over the sides of the champagne flute.

6. Serve the non-alcoholic Bellini immediately. The drink has no traditional garnish, but you can add one if you like.

Tips & Warnings

• If you would rather use actual peach puree to make a non-alcoholic Bellini, the proportion of peach to sparkling white grape juice will change from 1 part peach juice to 1 part sparkling grape to 1 part peach puree to 5 parts sparkling grape juice.

• You can substitute sparkling cider or club soda for sparkling grape juice.

• Add the sparkling grape juice carefully. Although not as bubbly as champagne, the grape juice still produces plenty of fizz.
