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.

Cocktail with slices of kiwi.

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

Ingredients for a kiwi cocktail.
  • 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.
