Ingredients

• 750 ml Prosecco or sparkling wine
• 150 ml Pear purée
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 1 unit Pear slices or rosemary sprigs (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine pear purée, honey, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse until slightly chilled and slushy. Alternatively, you can chill the purée mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 3

To assemble the bellinis, pour about 2 tablespoons of the pear purée mixture into the bottom of each champagne flute or cocktail glass.

Step 4

Slowly top with Prosecco or sparkling wine, pouring gently to avoid overflow and to preserve the bubbles.

Step 5

Stir lightly with a swizzle stick or spoon to mix the purée into the sparkling wine.

Step 6

Garnish each glass with a thin pear slice or a sprig of rosemary for a festive presentation, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the holiday cheer!
