Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are the star of this mocktail. The sweeter and juicier the peaches, the better! If peaches aren’t in season, you might try frozen peach slices, though fresh makes a big difference.
Lemon Juice: This adds a nice tang to balance the sweetness. If you don’t have fresh lemons, bottled lemon juice works too, but fresh juice is always tastier.
Honey or Agave Syrup: Both sweeteners work well here; choose based on personal taste or dietary needs. Maple syrup can be a good substitute if you’re looking for something different.
Sparkling Water or Club Soda: For that fizzy finish, choose whichever you enjoy. If you prefer something sweeter, try a flavored sparkling water that complements peach!
How Do I Make a Smooth Peach Purée?
Creating a smooth peach purĂ©e is key to this mocktail’s success. Here’s how to do it right:
- Make sure your peaches are ripe for the best flavor. Peel and slice them to make blending easier.
- Add lemon juice and honey/agave in the blender with the peaches and blend until completely smooth—this should only take a minute!
- Taste and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more honey/agave. If it’s too thick, you can add a small splash of water.

FAQ about Refreshing Peach Bellini Mocktail
Can I Use Frozen Peaches for This Mocktail?
Absolutely! Frozen peaches can be a great substitute, especially when fresh peaches aren’t in season. Just let them thaw a bit before blending to ensure a smooth purĂ©e.
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness?
If you find the mocktail too sweet or not sweet enough, simply adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup when blending. Always taste the purée before assembling the drink, as you can easily add more to suit your preference!
How Long Do Leftovers Last?
If you have leftover peach purée, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, for the best flavor and freshness, I recommend making the mocktails fresh as needed.
Can I Make This Mocktail Ahead of Time?
You can prep the peach purée and store it in the fridge, but it’s best to add the sparkling water right before serving to retain the fizz. Just give it a good stir or blend again to mix if it separates!
