Every hostess should have a few sparkling cocktail recipes in her back pocket, including this twist on the classic Champagne Bellini. And because this apricot bellini champagne recipe uses canned fruit filling, you can serve up this sweetly refreshing drink all year-round.
Just be sure you use a dry Champagne or sparkling wine, to keep the Bellini from becoming overwhelmingly sugary or cloying.
apricot bellini Champagne recipe
what you'll need
- 1 can apricot cake and pastry filling
- 1-2 ounces lemon juice to taste
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar to taste
- 1 bottle Champagne dry or sparkling wine, chilled
- strainer fine mesh
let's do it
- Warm the apricot filling in a sauté pan over medium-low heat and then stir in the lemon juice and the sugar, to taste (the lemon and the sugar should enhance the apricot flavor and not overwhelm it). Remove pan from heat, strain mixture into a bowl and let cool completely.
- Scoop 2-4 teaspoons (to taste) of apricot mixture into a Champagne flute and then fill the glass with Champagne/sparkling wine.
- Carefully stir the cocktail until the apricot mixture is evenly distributed, and then serve immediately.
One Last Thing
Prosecco is typically less than Champagne, so consider that when you're picking out your bubbly!
