Blood Moon Bellini Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peach puree (fresh or canned)
• 1/4 cup blood orange juice
• Chilled sparkling wine or champagne
• Blood orange slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the peach puree: If using fresh peaches, peel and pit them, then blend in a blender or food processor until smooth. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup and blend the peaches until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness of the puree by adding a bit of honey or sugar if desired.

2. Strain the peach puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or fibers, if desired, for a smoother texture.

3. Pour the strained peach puree into a pitcher or large measuring cup.

4. Add the blood orange juice to the peach puree and stir until well combined.

5. Chill the peach and blood orange mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until cold.

6. To serve, pour about 2 tablespoons of the peach and blood orange mixture into each champagne flute.

7. Top off each glass with chilled sparkling wine or champagne, gently stirring to combine.

8. Garnish each Blood Moon Bellini with a slice of blood orange on the rim of the glass, if desired, for an extra touch of elegance.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy the hauntingly beautiful hue and delicious flavor of the Blood Moon Bellini!

This unique cocktail combines the sweetness of peach puree with the tartness and deep red hue of blood orange juice, creating a stunning and flavorful Bellini that is perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. Cheers to the Blood Moon Bellini!
