One of the simplest and most beautiful ways to use peaches this time of year is to puree them with a splash of rose syrup, for sweetness and an even more lovely shade of soft pink.
Making your own bellinis – a drink first introduced at the legendary Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy – ย is a fast way to make new friends at a dinner party!
Note:ย Depending on how many drinks you are mixing, adjust amount of peaches and syrup accordingly, while keeping the proportions at about 1 teaspoon of rose syrup per 1 cup of puree.
Peach-rose bellini
You’ll need:
- 6-8 ripe donut peaches
- 1 t rose syrup
- champagne or sparkling wine
1. Peel and pit the peaches – scald them in boiling water first, then ice and peel.
2. In a food processor, combine peaches and rose syrup. Puree until smooth.
3. Place half a teaspoon of peach puree in every coupe or glass, then top with sparkling wine.
What a beautiful drink ๐

Thank you, Uru! Cheers to your birthday!
I wish I could get some peaches right now but I’ll need to be content with your yummy theme for the month and channel the glamourously folk at Harry’s Bar. Looks so circa prohibition and loving it!
Thank you! Stockpile recipes for the summer :). I am living vicariously through cozy-sweater weather with your cooking!
One of my favorite cocktails…especially if it includes being in Italy to enjoy it.
Agreed, Karen!
Looks delicious! I am currently searching for rose syrup, but can’t find it here. I hope there’s a bottle hiding from me somewhere in the area, I would love to try these!
Thanks, Anne! Are there any ethnic food stores you could look in? Southeast Asian or Middle Eastern places may have it.
I’m glad I voted for peaches this month. Brilliant!
Thank you! Thought you guys would enjoy this one.
Such an elegant drink! I love that there are only three ingredients! Classy! Debra
Thank you!
