Yea! We have made it to the end of another week. It’s Fiesta Friday time! What better way to wind down the week than with a little get together with friends – have a few drinks, good food and a few laughs …and maybe more drinks. 😉
One of the places we like to go is Johnny Carino’s. They have a great happy hour menu for drinks and appetizers. I usually order my favorite drink, a Bellini. I decided I like these so much that I wanted to make them at home. Although I did not get Johnny’s recipe, I was able to find out what is in one.
Johnny Carino’s Bellini
Frozen peach nectar, white wine, champagne and rum swirled with Italian Sangria.
Sounds yummy, right? Right! I remembered I had frozen peaches and could easily use them to whip up some daiquiri mix and add a little twist to it with sangria and Voilà! Here is Johnny Carino’s Bellini my way. Please do try some. It looks like it might be a hot summer ahead!
Until next time …stay thirsty!
Thanks for visiting!

Peach Bellini with a Swirl of Sangria
Cool and refreshing. Perfect for any summer party.
By: Arl’s World
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen peaches
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup peach schnapps
- 1 cup crushed ice – more if necessary
- 1 cup Prosecco – chilled
- 2 ounces of sangria
Directions:
Place frozen peaches, sugar into blender and puree. Transfer to refrigerator to chill.
- When Prosecco and peach puree are completely chilled and you are ready to make drinks add peach puree, lemon juice, peach schnapps, crushed ice and Prosecco to blender; pulse to combine.
- Pour blended drink into a glass and pour an ounce of sangria wine right on top of the drink. Stir it once with your stirrer to create the swirl effect.
- Garnish with thinly sliced peach wedges – optional.

This drink is so pretty. Hot summer or not, we must honour the season with its share of refreshing, fruity mixed drinks. I presume I could use any fresh fruit in season instead of the peaches.

The traditional Belllini is made with peaches, but I don’t see why not. I think it would be good with Raspberries or Strawberries. Thanks for the comment! 🙂
