Peach Ginger Bellinis

I have created a cocktail which requires Presecco.  Recently I have been introduced to Prosecco by my sister.  She recently had the opportunity to visit Italy and Presecco was on the menu!  So I hope you enjoy and remember please, drink responsibly!  Please do not drink and drive!  We are going to have some fun at home! 

Sugar Syrup

¾ cup of sugar
1 cup of water
1 large piece of peeled fresh ginger, about 2 inch and quartered.

Bring water to boil add sugar and stir until sugar has been dissolved.  Place the quartered ginger in the sugar water and remove from heat.  Cool and then refrigerate overnight!

Peach Bellini

Grated rind from one lime
Juice from one lime
1 - 15 ounce can of peaches no sugar added and drained
1/4 cup of peach schnapps
1 bottle of chilled Prosecco – I like to use Loredan Gasparini – Asolo Docg – Prosecco Superiore ( You can purchase this from Specs.

Strain the simple syrup.  Place ¼ cup of the simple syrup into a blender.  Add rind, juice and peaches and mix in the blender until smooth and creamy.  The mixture will become a peach puree.

Measure 2 tablespoons of the peach puree into an 8 ounce glass, top as you prefer with the chilled Prosecco, stir and add a mint leaf and enjoy and have some fun!
