Blend up a frozen peach bellini for a sweet, crisp, and refreshing summer cocktail. This easy-to-make frozen bellini is perfect for warm afternoons at the cabin, on the dock, or for entertaining friends. Make a big batch ahead of time, and everyone will keep asking for seconds.
Frozen cocktails are trending for good reason — they’re fun, fruity, and ideal for hot weather. If you enjoy frozen margaritas or frose, you’ll love this peach version. It’s essentially a peach sorbet topped with sparkling wine, giving a delightful slushy texture and effervescent finish.
What’s in This Peach Bellini
- Frozen peaches: Use frozen sliced peaches for the right texture. You can buy them ready-made or slice fresh peaches and freeze them yourself.
- Prosecco or sparkling wine: Use your favorite prosecco, brut, or other sparkling wine. For a non-alcoholic version, swap it for soda water or sparkling water.
- Ice and water: A small amount of ice and a splash of water help create the ideal slush consistency without diluting flavor.
- Fresh lemon juice: A little lemon brightens the sweetness of the peaches with a touch of tartness.
- Honey: A natural sweetener that adds subtle warmth and depth without overpowering the peach flavor.
Tip: Make Sure Not to Overblend
My biggest tip: do not overblend the frozen peach mixture. You want a thick, smooth slush—if you blend too long you’ll get a puree. Pulse the blender and stop as soon as the mixture is evenly textured and scoopable.
If you do overblend: Don’t worry. Add a few more frozen peach slices and some ice, pulse briefly, and the slush will firm back up.
How to Freeze Your Own Peaches
If you choose to freeze fresh peaches, start by peeling them if desired, then slice into wedges. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet so they don’t stick together. Freeze for at least one hour or until solid, then transfer the frozen slices to a resealable bag or airtight container. This method keeps the pieces separate so they blend easily into the perfect slush.
Make It Non-Alcoholic
Converting this bellini to a non-alcoholic mocktail is simple. Replace prosecco 1:1 with chilled soda water or sparkling water. For added flavor, use a lightly flavored sparkling water (such as peach or lemon) or a premium soda water with a squeeze of extra lemon.
Pour, Serve, and Enjoy!
Once the frozen peaches are blended into a thick, smooth mixture, divide the slush evenly between chilled glasses and slowly top with chilled prosecco. Pour gently — the prosecco will bubble when it hits the slush. Garnish with a fresh peach slice or a sprig of mint for a pretty presentation.
Serve in champagne flutes or stemless wine glasses for a casual setting. For larger gatherings, scale up the ingredients and keep the peach slush chilled in a freezer-safe container, scooping portions as needed.

If you enjoy frozen bellinis, try other slushy-style drinks like frozen Aperol spritz, frozen lavender French 75, frozen mojitos, or fruity wine freeze pops. Frozen cocktails are versatile — experiment with different fruits, herbs, and sparkling bases to find your favorite combinations.
Frozen Peach Bellini Recipe
This frozen peach bellini puts a peachy twist on the classic: a peach sorbet blended with a touch of lemon and honey, then topped with bubbly prosecco. Serves 2.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen sliced peaches

- 2 tablespoons water
- ~1 cup chilled prosecco (or sparkling water for non-alcoholic)

- Divide the peach slush between two champagne flutes or glasses.
- Top each glass slowly with chilled prosecco (or sparkling water for an NA version) so the bubbles settle nicely.
