This Easy Peach Bellini Mocktail is a fruity and bubbly drink perfect for any occasion! It combines sweet peaches with sparkling water for a refreshing taste without any alcohol.
Making this drink is a breeze! Just blend ripe peaches, mix in some soda, and you’re ready to sip. I love serving it at brunch—it looks fancy but takes no time at all! 🍑🥂
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh ripe peaches give the best flavor. If they’re out of season, you can use frozen peaches instead. Just thaw them first, but fresh is always my top choice because of the vibrant taste!
Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens the drink. If you’re in a pinch, bottled lemon juice will work too, but the flavor won’t be quite as fresh. I prefer using fresh juice for that zesty kick!
Honey or Simple Syrup: Honey adds a lovely floral sweetness. You could use agave syrup or maple syrup for a different twist, or even adjust with stevia for a lower-calorie version. Always adjust sweetness to your taste!
Sparkling Water or Club Soda: Chilled sparkling water adds the fizz. If you want a fruity twist, you can also try flavored sparkling water, like peach or lemon!
How Do I Get the Right Consistency for My Peach Puree?
The key to a smooth peach puree is to blend the peaches well! Here’s how to do it:
- Make sure your peaches are ripe; the softer, the better for blending.
- Remove the skin and pit for a smoother texture.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit of water to help it blend.
- Taste the puree before serving to see if you need to adjust sweetness!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This refreshing mocktail takes about 10 minutes to prepare and assemble. Just a few minutes to blend the ingredients and a moment to serve it up beautifully!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Make the Peach Puree:
In a blender, add the chopped peaches, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and honey or simple syrup. Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy. This will give you a delicious peach puree that serves as the base of your mocktail!
2. Prepare the Glasses:
Take your serving glasses and fill each one halfway with ice cubes. This will keep your mocktail nice and chilled as you enjoy it!
3. Add the Peach Puree:
Pour the peach puree evenly into each glass over the ice. Don’t worry if it looks a bit thick; that’s what makes it tasty!
4. Top with Sparkling Water:
Now, slowly top off each glass with chilled sparkling water or club soda. This step is key to getting that fizzy effect! Stir gently to combine the puree and the bubbles, being careful not to lose the fizz.
5. Garnish and Serve:
To make it look even fancier, garnish the rim of each glass with a fresh peach slice. It adds a lovely touch! Serve immediately and get ready to enjoy your delightful peach bellini mocktail!
Can I Use Canned Peaches for This Mocktail?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to drain the syrup well and rinse them. For the best flavor, use peaches in juice or water rather than heavy syrup. Blend them until smooth for that perfect puree!
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness of My Mocktail?
That’s easy! You can add more honey or simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink. Start with a half tablespoon, blend, then taste. Remember, the sweetness can also come from ripe peaches, so adjust according to your preference!
How Do I Store Leftover Peach Puree?
Store any leftover peach puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir or shake before using, as it may thicken when chilled. You could also freeze it in ice cube trays for easy future use!
Can I Make This Mocktail in Advance?
While it’s best when served fresh, you can prepare the peach puree ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just mix in the sparkling water just before serving to maintain that bubbly texture!
