    Raspberry Bellini with Lime

    This Raspberry Bellini with Lime Brunch Cocktail is a sweet, refreshing way to toast any special occasion, brunch, or al fresco lunch or dinner. 

    Raspberry Bellini with Lime

    Between Easter, Mother's Day, Cinco de Mayo, and a host of spring birthdays, baby showers, and bridal showers, there's a lot of home entertaining that happens this time each year.

    And with so many reasons to celebrate, it's always good to have a variety of celebratory cocktail recipes to keep your occasions fun and lively. Mimosas are great, but when you want something just a little extra special, I say: go for this raspberry bellini.

    Raspberry Bellinis: The Perfect Brunch Cocktail

    Now, if you've had a bellini at a chain restaurant before, you might be thinking "but bellinis are way too sweet for me!" Alas, when made correctly, they should not be! Do not fear the bellini. I'm not sure what it is about chain restaurants and their bellini recipes, but I've always found them to be much sweeter than bartenders at local restaurants and bars make them. And, like all cocktails, you can make them just to your liking at home!

    Raspberry Bellini with Lime cocktail

    Bellini brunch cocktails are a wonderful blend of a touch of sweetness from pureed fruit and slight tartness and acidity of the Prosecco.

    They are absolutely delightful to enjoy anytime of day, but especially at brunch. It's such a treat to go beyond a classic mimosa or straight champagne. I think you'll enjoy this sparkly, fizzy, fruity, celebratory raspberry bellini cocktail!

    Just Add Prosecco

    prosecco with bellinis

    I love all sparkling wines, but Prosecco is one that I love to especially enjoy during spring and summer. All wines labeled as Prosecco are produced in Italy and made with the native grape Glera.

    If you're confused about the difference between champagne, prosecco, cava, and other sparkling wines (and it totally can be confusing!), I lay out a very basic explanation in my last post about the difference in sparkling wines.

    For this Mixology Monday recipe, I was given a bottle of VOVETI Prosecco to try out. VOVETI is a high quality Prosecco that is upscale and affordable. Only 15,000 cases of this craft Prosecco are produced each year. At about $15 per bottle, it's the perfect Prosecco for everyday pairing or for chic entertaining with friends.

    Bellini Brunch Cocktail Food Pairings

    This raspberry bellini brunch cocktail pairs well with a variety of dishes – especially dishes that were made for entertaining.

    The bubbly effervescence, acidity, and lively fruit flavors added to the bellini brunch cocktails by Prosecco make it a wonderful accompaniment to light appetizers. Think skewered seared scallops, prosciutto-wrapped melon, and smoked tuna on pear slices. These brunch cocktails are also delightful with entrees such as pasta with spring veggies, poached halibut, and slow-cooked salmon with spring vegetables.

    Personally, my favorite pairing for these yummy bellini brunch cocktails is with fruity desserts, such as these Easy Spring Mini Fruit Tarts.

    Seriously: those Spring Mini Fruit Tarts and these Raspberry Lime Bellinis are a match made in food + drink pairing heaven. The lime juice and lime zest found in both recipes help marry the two quite nicely.

    Customize your Bellini Brunch Cocktail

    Just like you can customize the Spring Mini Fruit Tarts, you can easily customize this cocktail recipe to your liking by switching up the fruit. I chose frozen raspberries because I think they are fantastic with Prosecco, but you can also choose frozen mango, strawberries, blueberries, or peaches.

        Yes! Mimosas are great but kind of expected. Bellinis would be such a surprising treat!

        Yum! I love a good fruity cocktail, but like you mentioned, I'm not a fan of overly sweet drinks. So I almost never order them out, and make them at home instead so I can control the sweetness. I love using Prosecco for sparkling wine cocktails because they often have a natural sweetness that is just enough for me (and then I don't need to add any additional sugar). Anything more is overkill on the sweet factor.
        These are also gorgeous by the way!!!

        I love Voveti Prosecco and I love this bellini that you've created. I've only ever had a peach and a strawberry version - Raspberries sound incredible!

        This looks beautiful with the Raspberry color and how you balance the Sweet with a zing of Lime. I think bellinis are so underrated and should be enjoyed more! Love the suggestions of different fruit to try.
