The iconic Peach Bellini originated in Venice, Italy, in the 1930's or 40's, where peaches were a favoured summer fruit. The blush hue of this delicious pink mocktail led to its title - it was named after 15th Century Renaissance artist, Giovanni Bellini, who used soft pink colours in several of his paintings. A fan favourite, this mocktail pairs the exquisite Bellini Cipriani Virgin Peach Bellini with Thomson & Scott Noughty Sparkling Rosé, a highly acclaimed non-alcoholic sparkling wine. The aromas of freshly picked summer berries and the elegant bubbles of the sparkling rosé beautifully enhance the authentic peach flavours of the Bellini Cipriani, creating a sophisticated, layered drinking experience. Simple and elegant, this is one of the best peach bellini mocktail recipes that delivers the taste of summer. For the best experience, garnish with slices of peach on a skewer and a plump sprig of mint.

-
100ml Thomson & Scott Noughty Sparkling Rosé (chilled)

METHOD
-
Start by chilling your champagne flute. Fill it with ice and cold water while you prep everything else.
-
Make sure both the Bellini Cipriani - Virgin Peach Bellini and the Thomson & Scott Noughty Sparkling Rosé are nice and cold, straight from the fridge.
-
For the garnish, slice up a fresh peach into thin wedges and thread them onto a cocktail skewer. Grab a fresh mint sprig and set both aside.
-
Once your glass is chilled, dump out the ice and water. Give the glass a quick shake to get rid of any leftover water.
-
Pour 100ml of the Bellini Cipriani - Virgin Peach Bellini into the bottom of your flute.
-
Slowly add 100ml of the Thomson & Scott Noughty Sparkling Rosé, letting it run down the side of the glass. This keeps those bubbles alive and gives you a nice layered look.
-
Gently stir with a bar spoon, just enough to bring the flavours together without losing that fizz.
-
Rest the peach skewer across the rim, tuck in the mint sprig, and serve right away. Enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect Peach Bellini Mocktail
-
Chill Everything – Get both the Bellini Cipriani and Noughty Sparkling Rosé ice-cold before you even think about pouring. When everything’s chilled, you keep those bubbles alive, and the drink tastes way more refreshing.
-
Pick the Right Glass – Trust me, a champagne flute makes all the difference. The tall, skinny shape keeps your drink fizzy and really shows off that gorgeous blush colour.
-
Pour Gently – When it’s time for the sparkling rosé, don’t rush it. Tilt the glass and pour slowly down the side. This keeps the bubbles from escaping and gives you that fancy layered look.
-
Don’t Skip Fresh Garnishes – Go for ripe peaches and a few sprigs of fresh mint. They look beautiful and give every sip a little hit of extra aroma.
-
Serve Right Away – Peach Bellini mocktail recipes taste best straight after mixing. That’s when the flavours are brightest, and the bubbles are at their best.

FAQs
1. Can I make this mocktail ahead of time?
Honestly, this drink is all about the fizz, so mix it up fresh. You can chill your ingredients and prep your fruit and mint ahead of time, but don’t combine everything until you’re ready to serve. That way, you get the most sparkle and the best flavour.
2. What makes Noughty Sparkling Rosé a good choice for mocktails?
Noughty Sparkling Rosé by Thomson & Scott is a de-alcoholised wine, but it still brings all the classic taste, aroma, and lively bubbles you expect from real sparkling wine. It’s got subtle berry flavours and a crisp finish, so your mocktail still feels special, no compromise on taste or style.
3. Can I use fresh peaches instead of Bellini Cipriani?
You can, but the flavour will shift. Bellini Cipriani gives you that classic Venetian taste and a silky texture. If you want to try fresh peaches, just blend some ripe peaches with peach nectar and a little simple syrup. Strain it so it’s smooth, and you’re good to go. The result won’t be exactly the same, but it’ll still taste great.
4. Is this mocktail suitable for pregnant women?
Absolutely, it’s completely alcohol-free. Both Bellini Cipriani Virgin Peach Bellini and Noughty Sparkling Rosé are 0.0% alcohol, so they’re safe for anyone avoiding booze, including pregnant women. Still, it never hurts to double-check the labels or chat with your doctor if you’re unsure.a
5. What's the difference between this and a traditional Bellini?
Classic Bellinis mix Prosecco and fresh white peach purée, so they come with alcohol. This mocktail uses Bellini Cipriani Virgin Peach Bellini and Noughty Sparkling Rosé, so you get all the fizz, flavour, and celebration without a drop of alcohol. You won’t miss a thing, except the hangover.
