Happy New Year! Are you a peach lover like I am? Whether you’re hosting a big party, a small gathering with just few friends, or spending a quiet intimate New Year’s Eve at home like we are, this mocktail is absolutely delish and the perfect way to ring in the new year! Have a safe and happy holiday, and my New Year’s wish is that 2026 is the best year ever!
Peach Bellini Mocktail
- 2 oz Peach Purée: Made from fresh, canned, or frozen peaches blended until smooth.
- 4 oz Chilled Sparkling Beverage: Choose one of the following:
- Non-alcoholic sparkling wine or Prosecco alternative (for the most authentic taste).
- Sparkling apple cider.
- Club soda or sparkling water.
- Lemon-lime soda or ginger ale (for added sweetness).
- Optional: 1/4 oz fresh lemon juice (to balance sweetness and prevent browning).
- Garnish: A fresh peach slice, raspberries, or a sprig of mint.
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Purée: Peel and pit fresh peaches, then blend them in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. If using canned peaches, blend them with a little of their syrup.
- Chill: Ensure all ingredients and your champagne flute or glass are well-chilled before mixing.
- Combine: Pour the peach purée into the bottom of the glass.
- Top Off: Slowly top the purée with your chosen non-alcoholic sparkling beverage.
- Stir Gently: Give the mixture a very gentle stir to combine the flavors without losing the effervescence.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a peach slice or fresh berries and a sprig of mint, then serve immediately.

I do love a bellini. Yummy.
Happy New Year!
Me, too, Denise! I drink the ones that come in a bottle from the grocery store at the lake in the summer. They’re pretty tasty and refreshing.
I love peaches. This sounds amazing.
Peaches are my favorite fruit, but only when they’re in season. Our little peach tree may have died this past summer. We’re giving it one more chance in the spring, but I’m not hopeful. 🙁
Good afternoon Nan, your Peach Bellini Mocktail sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. May you all have a Blessed New Year.
Hope you give it a try, Alicia! Happy New Year to you and yours!
