This Kiwi Bellini with Mint is a kiwi twist on the classic Bellini, and I use prosecco and mint for a crisp, fruity-fresh taste.
Bellinis are made with fruit puree, and mimosas are made with juice. Both use prosecco or champagne.
🌟Why you’ll love this recipe
The alcohol base for the Bellini is prosecco, with kiwi juice as the dominant flavor, garnished with mint. It has a slight sweetness due to the small addition of some sugar, which balances out the sharp crisp citrus flavor of the lemon juice squeeze and the tartness of the kiwi.
The cocktail is kept light and bubbly with the cold prosecco, which balances the denser kiwi puree. It’s such a refreshing cocktail with classic flavors, it has a universally appealing taste and will be great for people who are picky with their cocktails.
🧾Ingredients in this recipe
kiwi – I love the color and flavor that kiwi adds to this recipe, but you can use almost any fruit. This recipe works great with stone fruit like peaches and cherries, or berries.
prosecco – you can substitute with champagne but look for one that is labeled “brut” which let’s you know it is dry. You can also use cava.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
👩🍳How to Make This Recipe
Place 3 of the kiwi, lemon juice, and sugar in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Add 2 tbsp of the puree to each glass and fill with cold prosecco. Then, top with a slice of kiwi and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.
