Bellini is one of the most popular summer cocktails in Italy, made with peach puree and sparkling wine. You can enjoy the refined flavor of this drink even if peach season isn't over yet, and make it with frozen fruit. It's even better this way, as your cocktail will be very chilled right away. Whisk peach chunks with simple syrup and lemon zest, which adds a pleasant tartness, and complement the peach puree with any sparkling wine you like. Bellinis are traditionally served in tall champagne flutes, and you can adjust the proportions of fruit and alcohol to suit your taste. However, the ideal ratio is 1/3 peaches to 2/3 wine.
