Ingredients for a Strawberry Bellini

• Strawberries – Grab some fresh, ripe strawberries to make the sweetest strawberry bellini that you can! I love to make this cocktail during strawberry season since these little red berries are so so ripe and sweet!
• Powdered sugar – Sweeten your fresh strawberry puree with some powdered sugar. It blends into the puree really easily!
• Strawberry moscato – Add strawberry moscato to create extra bold strawberry flavor into this bellini recipe.
• Brandy – Spike this traditional bellini with some brandy! It gives this cocktail depth of flavor.

How to Make a Strawberry Bellini

In a blender, blend together the strawberries, powdered sugar and brandy until smooth. Transfer this mixture to the fridge and chill for at least a ½ hour.

Divide the strawberry mixture among 4 champagne flutes and then top each glass with a ½ cup sparkling Moscato. Stir well to combine.

Garnish each glass with strawberry.

What to Serve with Strawberry Bellinis

Serve these strawberry bellinis with many of your favorite appetizers. Whether it’s a simple crostini with fun toppings, or some air fryer pigs in blanket this is great for cocktail hour.

It’s great with sweet treats like a cream cheese danish or angel food cake. This strawberry pretzel salad is a yummy salty sweet treat to pair with a bellini too.

Serve your strawberry bellini cocktail is great for brunch as well. I love to pair it with mini quiche cups, eggs benedict, and brioche French toast.

What can I use instead of moscato in a strawberry bellini?

A nice, bubbly, strawberry moscato is my favorite thing to use when making a sparkling strawberry bellini. But there are a variety of great substitutes as well! A prosecco adds a nice bubbly touch, and is often a bit more dry than moscato. Or even make this into a fancy champagne cocktail with real champagne!

To make a non-alcoholic version of these strawberry cocktails, omit the brandy and then use some sparkling water or sparking white grape juice in place of the moscato.

Can I make strawberry bellinis ahead of time?

You can make the majority of this recipe ahead of time! Just puree the strawberries, brandy, and powdered sugar together and store in the fridge until needed. The mixture actually requires chilling before serving anyway! So if you need to take some prep work out of your party, then whip up the bellini puree and you can make those drinks later.

Be sure to chill the sparkling moscato as well, then you can add it to each glass when you are ready to serve strawberry bellinis.

This strawberry bellini recipe is not only super tasty, but so pretty! It’s a party beverage that everyone will enjoy.
