Best 5 Grapefruit Pineapple Bellini Recipes

TROPICAL BELLINIS

Steps:

• Mix the pineapple juice, coconut drink and orange juice in a large pitcher and refrigerate until well chilled. Thread a cherry, pineapple spear and a second cherry on each of 12 decorative cocktail toothpicks; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve: Fill a champagne flute one-third of the way with the pineapple juice mixture and top up with prosecco or sparkling water. Garnish with a pineapple cherry spear.

PINEAPPLE-RASPBERRY BELLINI

Steps:

• Blend raspberries, pineapple juice, and vanilla until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids; pour into a pitcher. Top with wine. Let foam settle; top with seltzer and stir gently to combine. Put a few raspberries in each glass, pour, and serve.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT AND THYME BELLINIS

Steps:

• For the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the thyme sprigs, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for at least 20 minutes.
• Cut the ends off one of the grapefruits and place cut-side down on the counter. Using a paring knife, cut away the peel. Working over a small bowl or a large glass measuring cup to catch any juices, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment and remove the segments. Place the grapefruit segments in 4 chilled champagne flutes. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Discard the membranes. Halve the remaining grapefruit and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
• Strain the simple syrup and grapefruit juice into a small pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the prosecco.
• Pour into the prepared glasses and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if using.

GRAPEFRUITINI

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and grapefruit zest in a small, shallow bowl. Wet the rim of a martini glass with one of the grapefruit wedges, then dip the rim into the sugar mixture to coat. Garnish the rim with the remaining grapefruit wedge.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the grapefruit juice, vodka and pomegranate juice. Shake until well chilled. Strain into the martini glass. Serve immediately.

BELLINIS

Steps:

• Stir the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
• Puree the peaches and orange peel in a blender with 1 1/2 cups of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer and into a bowl. Transfer the puree into a pitcher or clear glass bowl.
• For each serving, pour 2 to 4 tablespoons of the peach puree into a Champagne flute. Slowly pour enough Prosecco into the flute to fill. Gently stir to blend. Garnish each with an orange peel twist, and serve.
• Do-Ahead Tip: The peach puree can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
