What You’ll Need

- Peach liqueur or peach schnapps: 2–3 ounces for a boost of peach flavor. Optional but delicious.
- Fresh lemon or lime juice: 1–2 tablespoons to brighten the flavors.
- Simple syrup or honey: 1–2 tablespoons, only if needed, depending on how sweet your peaches are.
- Ice: 1–2 cups, if you want a thicker slush or if your peaches aren’t fully frozen.
- Optional garnish: Peach slices, a sprig of mint, or a twist of lemon peel.
Instructions
- Chill everything: Pop your Prosecco in the fridge or freezer for a bit so it’s very cold.Cold ingredients make a better slush.
- Load the blender: Add frozen peaches, 1 cup of Prosecco, peach liqueur, and lemon or lime juice. Start with less liquid—you can always add more.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high until the mixture turns thick and slushy. If it’s too thick to spin, add a splash more Prosecco.If it’s too thin, add a handful of ice or a few more frozen peach slices.
- Taste and adjust: Try a spoonful. If you want it sweeter, add simple syrup or honey in tiny amounts and blend again. Keep the citrus bright but not sharp.

- Serve immediately: Divide into cold glasses.Garnish with a peach slice or mint if you like. Enjoy while icy and frothy.
10-Minute Frozen Peach Bellini Slushie
Bright, icy, and effervescent — sunshine in a glass with barely any effort
Ingredients — The Slushie
- 4 cups (20–24 oz) frozen peach slices, unsweetened
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Prosecco, well chilled (Brut / dry is best)
- 2–3 oz peach liqueur or peach schnapps (optional but recommended)
- 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1–2 tbsp simple syrup or honey (optional, only if needed)
- 1–2 cups ice (optional, for a thicker slush if peaches aren't fully frozen)
To Garnish
- Fresh peach slices
- Fresh mint sprig or a twist of lemon peel (optional)
Instructions
- Chill EverythingMake sure your Prosecco is very cold — pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes if needed. Cold ingredients are essential for a proper slush rather than a watery, flat drink.Warm ingredients melt the frozen peaches too quickly and you end up with a thin, bubble-free drink rather than a frosty slushie.
- Load the BlenderAdd the frozen peaches, 1 cup of chilled Prosecco, peach liqueur if using, and lemon or lime juice to the blender. Start with less liquid — you can always add more, but you can't thicken it back up without more frozen fruit.Don't overload the blender in one go — if you have a standard blender, work in two batches for a smoother, more consistent texture.
- Blend Until SlushyBlend on high until the mixture is thick and smooth. If it's too thick to spin, add a splash more Prosecco. If it's too thin, add a handful of ice or a few more frozen peach slices and blend again.The ideal consistency is like a thick smoothie — it should pour slowly and hold its shape briefly in the glass rather than flowing like juice.
- Taste and AdjustTry a spoonful before serving. If it needs sweetness, blend in simple syrup or honey in small amounts. If it tastes flat, a little more lemon or lime juice will lift it. Use Brut Prosecco and go easy on sweetener to avoid a cloying result.Sweet frozen peaches plus sweet liqueur plus sweet sparkling wine can tip quickly into cloying. Keep the citrus bright and choose a dry Prosecco to keep everything balanced.
- Add Remaining ProseccoPour in more chilled Prosecco to reach your ideal consistency and serving volume, pulsing briefly once or twice to incorporate without losing all the carbonation. Don't over-blend at this stage.Add the remaining Prosecco last and pulse rather than blend — over-blending knocks out the fizz and leaves you with a flat drink.
- Serve ImmediatelyDivide the slushie into cold glasses. Garnish with a fresh peach slice, a sprig of mint, or a twist of lemon peel if you like. Serve straight away while the slushie is at its frostiest and most effervescent.Chill your glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes before serving — it keeps the slushie cold and slushy longer in the glass.
Tips for the Best Results
- Keep all ingredients very cold — warm Prosecco or partially thawed peaches will result in a thin, flat drink rather than a frosty slushie.
- Choose a dry Brut Prosecco to balance the natural sweetness of the peaches. A sweet sparkling wine can make the drink cloying.
- Add Prosecco in two stages — a small amount for blending, then the rest pulsed in at the end. This preserves the bubbles.
- Taste before adding any sweetener. Ripe frozen peaches are often sweet enough on their own, especially combined with peach liqueur.
- For a make-ahead party, blend the frozen peach base without Prosecco and freeze it. Scoop into the blender with chilled Prosecco and pulse to a slush right before serving.
- For a mocktail, replace Prosecco with chilled sparkling water or ginger ale and swap peach liqueur for peach nectar.
- Freeze leftover peach-citrus base in ice cube trays. Blend the cubes with chilled Prosecco whenever you want a quick single-serve slushie.
Storage Instructions
- Short term: Keep any leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 hour, then re-blend with a splash of Prosecco or sparkling water to loosen.
- Longer term: Freeze the peach base without Prosecco in an airtight container for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, scoop into a blender and blend with chilled Prosecco.
- Avoid storing fully mixed slushie overnight: The bubbles fade and the texture gets icy.It’s best fresh.
Benefits of This Recipe
- Fast and foolproof: Minimal prep and no cooking make this perfect for last-minute gatherings.
- Refreshing without heaviness: It’s light, fruity, and not overly boozy when balanced well.
- Budget-friendly: Frozen fruit and a mid-range Prosecco work beautifully—no need for pricey bottles.
- Versatile: Adjust sweetness, acidity, and alcohol level to your taste.
- Great for crowds: Easy to batch in pitchers and blend as you go.
Pitfalls to Watch Out For
- Overblending with too much Prosecco: You’ll lose the fizz and end up with a flatter drink. Add bubbles last and pulse briefly.
- Using room-temperature ingredients: Warm ingredients melt the slush and dull the flavor. Keep everything cold.
- Too-sweet liqueur + sweet peaches: This can taste cloying.Use Brut Prosecco and add citrus to keep it bright.
- Watery texture: If peaches aren’t fully frozen, add ice or more frozen fruit to maintain thickness.
- Overloading the blender: Blend in batches if needed to protect your motor and get a smoother texture.
Recipe Variations
- Mocktail version: Use sparkling water, ginger ale, or nonalcoholic sparkling wine in place of Prosecco. Swap the peach liqueur for peach nectar or a splash of vanilla.
- Peach-mango twist: Half peaches, half frozen mango for a tropical note. Keep the citrus to balance.
- Raspberry swirl: Blend the peach base, then ripple in a quick blitz of frozen raspberries and a touch of honey for a pretty pink streak.
- Herb-kissed: Add a few fresh basil or mint leaves to the blender for a fragrant, garden-fresh finish.
- Low-sugar: Skip the simple syrup and choose an extra-dry (Brut Nature) bubbly.Use a squeeze more lemon to lift the flavor.
- Frozen cubes for later: Freeze the peach-citrus base in ice cube trays. Blend cubes with chilled Prosecco whenever you want a quick slushie.
- Bellini float: Spoon the slush into glasses and top with a small scoop of lemon or peach sorbet for a dessert-cocktail hybrid.
FAQ
What’s the best bubbly for a Bellini slushie?
A dry Prosecco (Brut) is classic. It’s affordable, crisp, and pairs well with sweet fruit.
Cava or a dry sparkling wine also works. Avoid very sweet sparkling wines unless you prefer a sweeter drink.
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes. Peel and slice them, then freeze the slices on a sheet pan until solid.
Using fresh, unfrozen peaches will make the drink thin and less slushy.
How do I make this less sweet?
Use a dry Prosecco, skip the liqueur or replace it with extra citrus, and avoid added sweeteners. You can also blend with a splash of cold water or sparkling water to cut sweetness.
What if I don’t have peach liqueur?
No problem. Replace it with peach nectar, apricot nectar, or a little extra Prosecco plus a drizzle of honey if needed.
The drink will still taste great.
Can I make it ahead for a party?
Blend the peach-citrus base without Prosecco and freeze it. Right before serving, scoop into the blender, add chilled Prosecco, and pulse to a slush. This keeps the bubbles lively.
Do I need to peel the peaches?
If using store-bought frozen peaches, they’re usually peeled.
If you’re freezing your own, peeling is nice for a smoother texture but not mandatory. The skin can add a slightly deeper color and light texture.
How strong is this drink?
It’s moderate. Prosecco typically has about 11% ABV, and the liqueur adds a bit more.
You control the strength by how much bubbly and liqueur you add. For a lighter drink, use more ice or sparkling water.
