Handle purée and juice with sparkling wine.

Tap to continue

Control overflow.

1/2

Compare fruit textures

Bellini uses white peach purée; Mimosa uses orange juice. These differ in texture and sweetness.

Tap to continue

Identify the selected fruit product and measure it. Detailed wine regions and tasting belong to the separate wine course, while wine here is a cocktail ingredient.

1/2

Preserve sparkling service

Start with appropriately chilled products and glassware, follow the named recipe’s mixing sequence and leave headroom. Add or combine sparkling components gently and never seal them in a shaker.

Tap to continue

Follow storage directions after opening. Juice does not make a wine cocktail alcohol-free.

1/2

Bellini

Sparkling fruit drink. Soft peach fruit, gentle sweetness and bubbles.

Tap to continue

Recipe: 100 ml chilled Prosecco · 50 ml white peach purée

Measured starting liquids (before ice dilution, not ABV): chilled Prosecco 66.6667%, white peach purée 33.3333% of 150 ml.

Practise and check yourself

Exercise: Rehearse the 100:50 Bellini and 75:75 Mimosa measurements with water, then explain the texture difference.

Tap to continue

Can peach schnapps silently replace Bellini purée? No. It changes texture, sweetness and alcohol contribution.

Does a larger proportion of juice make Mimosa alcohol-free? No. It still includes sparkling wine.
