Spring and summer are my favorite time to host brunch. The weather is warm and the local produce is plentiful. In early June, strawberries are in season here and I look forward to fresh berries in my kitchen for hosting Strawberry co*cktail parties and making Strawberry Mint Lemonade.

Strawberry Bellini co*cktail

Remember, always drink responsibly when enjoying Strawberry Bellinis or any co*cktail.

This year, I decided to make a twist on my super easyPeach Bellini recipeand use some of the fresh berries we picked to make a fresh Strawberry Bellini.

Although a traditional Bellini co*cktail is made with fruit puree (peach puree) and Prosecco, I love the flavor of most fruits with wine. Fresh strawberries at the peak of ripeness are the perfect substitute for this take on the classic drink.

I have tried making this Strawberry Bellini a few different ways, and honestly, it always tastes great. For this post, I’ve opted for the easiest method for this recipe that requires very little prep work.

What is a Strawberry Bellini Made Of?

A classic strawberry bellini is made with fresh strawberry puree (made with strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor) and Prosecco. It’s delicious, but when strawberries are in peak season, you can make a refreshing strawberry bellini by just using some strawberry juice from fresh strawberries!

What Kind of Wine Should I Use to Make a Strawberry Bellini?

Bellinis are traditionally made with a good bottle of Prosecco, but I’ve found that I like Moscato or even a bottle of sparkling Rosé with the strawberries. The main point here: don’t be afraid to try what you already have in the house!

I have a set of stemless champagne flutes that I love, and they’re just gorgeous, like these from Amazon:

How to Make Strawberry Garnish for Bellinis and Other co*cktails

Make your strawberry bellinis fun and creative with a strawberry garnish. It’s an easy and elegant way to make a simple co*cktail into a beautiful drink! You can:

• Cut into a whole strawberry about 3/4 of the way through, then place the berry on the rim of your champagne flute or co*cktail glass.
• Slice a strawberry (leave the stem intact) into thin slices and then cut each slice in half, about 3/4 of the way up the middle. Then twist slightly and place the slice on the rim of your champagne flutes.
• Make a strawberry fan by slicing the strawberry into thin slices and leaving the stem attached. Twist the strawberry open to create a fan shape.

Tips for Serving Delicious Strawberry Bellinis

1. Make sure to use fresh strawberries during peak season. Otherwise, you can make a traditional fruit puree for a sweeter bellini.
2. Gently stir in your strawberry mixture or strawberry puree to maintain all of the bubbles in your sparkling strawberry bellinis.
3. Other fruits can make refreshing bellinis! Mix raspberries or blueberries with your Prosecco for a new blend. You can even create a “bellini bar” for a party just like the popular mimosa bar.
4. Add a tiny splash of orange juice for a fun twist on the flavors of a classic bellini and mimosa!
5. Serve alongside pastries or desserts for a family holiday brunch.
