How to Make Your Christmas Morning Kiwi & Strawberry Bellini
- Making this cocktail is so easy, you’ll be sipping it in no time! Follow these simple steps:
Sugar the Rims of Your Glasses
- Start by preparing your glasses. Dip the rims into a bit of water or lemon juice (this helps the sugar stick). Then, gently dip the rims into sugar. This step adds a sparkling touch to your drink and is the perfect way to kick off the holiday vibes.
Prepare the Kiwi Purée
- Once the rims are ready, grab your blender and blend the peeled kiwis until smooth. You’ll want to scoop 1–2 tablespoons of this beautiful green purée into each glass. It’s not just pretty—it’s packed with flavor!
Top with Prosecco
- Slowly pour chilled Prosecco into each glass over the kiwi purée. Do this gently to preserve those refreshing bubbles! The fizzy Prosecco will naturally mix with the kiwi purée, creating a gorgeous gradient effect.
Garnish for a Festive Touch
- Now, it’s time to make this drink look as fabulous as it tastes! Add a slice of fresh strawberry to the rim of each glass and top with a sprig of mint. The pop of red and green will make your Bellinis look just as festive as your holiday decorations.
Serve & Celebrate!
- There you have it! Cheers to a joyful and bubbly Christmas morning with your Kiwi & Strawberry Bellinis. These are perfect for your holiday brunch or to serve before the gift exchange.
Notes
Tips for the Perfect Christmas Morning Bellini
- Chill your Prosecco: The colder the Prosecco, the better! Keep it chilled to enhance the refreshing experience of the cocktail.
- Strawberry prep: Slice your strawberries just before serving to keep them fresh and vibrant. They look best when freshly cut!
- Customize the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, feel free to add a little honey or simple syrup to the kiwi purée.
- Serve in style: These cocktails look gorgeous in champagne flutes or coupe glasses, but you can get creative with your glassware!
