Copycat Olive Garden Peach Bellini: A Taste of Italian Elegance

The first time I tasted an Olive Garden Peach Bellini was during a celebratory dinner with friends. As the effervescent peach cocktail was placed before me, the gentle fizz and delicate aroma instantly transported me to an Italian terrace overlooking sun-drenched vineyards. That magical combination of sweet peach and crisp bubbles created a moment so memorable that I became determined to recreate it at home. After several attempts, I’ve perfected this sophisticated yet straightforward two-ingredient cocktail that brings a touch of Olive Garden’s Italian charm to your kitchen.

What Makes the Olive Garden Peach Bellini So Good? 

This Peach Bellini achieves the perfect balance between sweet fruit and dry sparkling wine. By using peach nectar instead of fresh fruit, you get consistent flavor and smooth texture without the extra step of pureeing and straining. The result is a refreshing, elegant cocktail that’s remarkably simple to prepare yet tastes like it came from a professional bartender.

Olive Garden Peach Bellini Recipe Ingredients

For a Peach Bellini like the ones they serve at Olive Garden, you’ll need:

• Peach nectar – Provides the sweet, fruity base and signature peach flavor
• Prosecco – Adds effervescence and balances the sweetness with its dry finish

Ingredient Notes

Peach nectar is not the same as peach juice. Peach nectar combines peach purree and simple syrup to create a thick, pulpy drink. Several companies make peach nectar but try to find an all-natural brand that doesn’t contain corn syrup. Kern’s and Goya are both good options. 

Prosecco is a sparkling white wine from a Northern region in Italy. Produced from the Glera grape variety, the wine has a much fruitier taste than Champagne. There are several types of Prosecco, but they can all be divided into Rizzante, which is slightly fizzy, and fully sparkling Spumante. Go with a Spumante for this recipe.

In addition to the level of carbonation, there are six levels of dryness, ranging from Brute Nature (the driest) to Dolce (the variety with the highest sugar content).

You can substitute other sparkling wines for Prosecco, like Asti, Michelle Brut, and Conquilla Brut. These alternatives are all on the dry side and similar to the type of Prosecco used at the Olive Garden. 

How to Make Peach Bellini Like Olive Garden

To prepare a Peach Bellini:

1. Chill the peach nectar and Prosecco until cold. 
2. Pour the peach nectar into a champagne flute and top with the Prosecco. 
3. Garnish with an optional peach slice. 

What to Serve An Olive Garden-Style Peach Bellini With

A Peach Bellini pairs well with light and savory dishes. Here are a few suggestions, but feel free to share your favorites in the comment section below: 

• Crostini. These light bites come in almost endless variety, but all of them are easy to make and suitable for a casual get-together or a refined cocktail party. This goat cheese and pesto crostini is an excellent recipe to try making. 
• Bagel, lox, and cream cheese. The smokiness from the lox and the cool tang of the cream cheese is perfect on a plain or poppy seed bagel. Try adding thinly sliced red onions and capers for even more flavor. Would you prefer a lighter snack? Top a toasted bagel with Zabar’s Cream Cheese Spread. 
• Quiche. Quiches are a favorite brunch dish. You can experiment with various types, but two of the most common are Quiche Lorraine filled with cheese, ham, and bacon and Quiche Florentine made with spinach and cheese.
