This frozen peach bellini recipe is the cocktail I want when peach season and hot summer days collide. Frozen peach slices, peach schnapps, a little sugar, and a bottle of Prosecco blend into a thick, frosty peach drink with no ice watering it down.
It is a four-ingredient frozen drink that feels brunch-ready but is just as happy beside the pool in a stemless wine glass or mason jar. The blender does the work, the frozen peaches bring the texture, and the sparkling wine keeps everything light and lively.
What Is a Frozen Peach Bellini?
A frozen peach bellini is a slushy version of the traditional Bellini cocktail, which is usually made with peach puree and Prosecco. This frozen version uses frozen peach slices, peach schnapps, sugar, and dry sparkling wine for a thick, icy peach cocktail.

Where This Drink Comes From
The traditional peach Bellini comes from Venice and is made with peach puree and Prosecco. This frozen Bellini keeps the classic peach-and-sparkling-wine idea but turns it into an easy blended cocktail that works beautifully when fresh peaches are ripe and frozen peaches are already waiting in the freezer.
If you love peach recipes, this belongs in the same summer lineup as Prosecco Peaches and Cream, summer grilled peaches, homemade peach fried pies, and peach shortcake.
Ingredients You'll Need
- Frozen peach slices: frozen peaches create the thick slushy texture and strong peach flavor without adding ice.
- Peach schnapps: schnapps deepens the peach flavor and adds sweetness.
- Granulated sugar: sugar balances the dry sparkling wine and helps the frozen peach mixture taste rounded.
- Prosecco or dry sparkling white wine: Prosecco gives the drink its sparkle and keeps it from tasting too heavy.
- Fresh peach slices and mint: optional garnish, but a fresh peach slice and sprig of mint make each glass look finished.

To make frozen peach bellinis, blend half of the frozen peaches with peach schnapps, sugar, and about half of the sparkling wine, then gradually add the remaining frozen peaches and enough Prosecco to make the mixture smooth and slushy.
1. Measure and garnish. Measure the frozen peaches, peach schnapps, sugar, and Prosecco. Slice the fresh peach for garnish, if using.
2. Start the blender. Add half of the frozen peaches, the peach schnapps, sugar, and about half of the sparkling wine to a high-powered blender.
3. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to blend easily, pour in a little more sparkling wine.
4. Add the remaining peaches. With the blender running, gradually add the remaining frozen peaches until fully incorporated.
5. Finish with Prosecco. Pour in the rest of the sparkling wine and blend just until the mixture is smooth and evenly mixed.
6. Serve immediately. Divide among champagne flutes, stemless wine glasses, cocktail glasses, or mason jars. Garnish with fresh peach slices and mint, if desired.
Helpful Tips Before You Start
Use a dry sparkling wine so the cocktail stays bright instead of syrupy. Peach schnapps and frozen peaches already bring sweetness, so a very sweet sparkling wine can push the drink too far.
If your blender struggles, add Prosecco slowly instead of dumping in the whole bottle at once. A little extra liquid helps the blades catch, but adding too much too early can make the frozen drink thinner than you want.
A Few Easy Mistakes to Avoid
- Using ice: ice dilutes the peach flavor. Frozen peaches do the chilling and thickening.
- Overfilling the blender: start with half the frozen peaches so the blender can move.
- Over-blending after the Prosecco goes in: blend just until smooth so the drink keeps some lightness.
- Serving too late: this cocktail is at its best immediately after blending.
A Few Things That Make This Recipe Better
Chill the glasses for several minutes before serving if you have time. It helps the frozen drink stay slushy longer, especially outdoors. A fresh peach slice and mint sprig also make a simple glass feel party-ready without adding fuss.
For a lower-alcohol version, replace the peach schnapps with peach nectar and use less Prosecco or a little lemon-lime soda. The flavor and sweetness will change, but the drink will still have that cold peach-season feel.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Frozen peach bellinis are best served immediately, but leftovers can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then stir or briefly blend before serving.
Avoid refrigerating leftovers because the frozen texture melts quickly and separates. Freezing is the better option if you need to save extra cocktail mixture.
Can You Make It Ahead?
You can measure the ingredients, slice the garnish, chill the glasses, and keep the Prosecco cold ahead of time. For the best texture, blend the Bellinis right before serving.
What to Serve with It
Serve frozen peach bellinis with brunch favorites like quiche, breakfast casseroles, French toast, fruit salad, or a simple charcuterie board. For summer entertaining, pair them with grilled chicken skewers, strawberry watermelon salad, seafood, or light appetizers.
FAQs
Can I make frozen peach bellinis without peach schnapps?
Yes. Replace the peach schnapps with peach nectar for a lower-alcohol version, but expect the drink to taste sweeter and less boozy.
Can I use Champagne instead of Prosecco?
Yes. Champagne, Cava, sparkling rose, or another dry sparkling white wine can be used instead of Prosecco.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen peaches?
Fresh peaches work best if you slice and freeze them first. Frozen peach slices give the Bellini its thick frozen-drink texture without adding ice.
Can I make virgin frozen peach bellinis?
Yes. Use peach nectar in place of peach schnapps and lemon-lime soda or nonalcoholic sparkling wine in place of Prosecco. Adjust sugar to taste.
How do I keep frozen bellinis slushy longer?
Start with fully frozen peaches, chill the Prosecco, and freeze the serving glasses for a few minutes before filling them. Also serving them in thermal insulated tumbler. These are my favorite Skinny Tumblers!
