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.

Tips:
- Use ripe apricots. The riper the apricots, the sweeter and more flavorful your bellini will be.
- Chill your ingredients. All of the ingredients should be chilled before you make the bellini. This will help to create a refreshing and flavorful drink.
- Use a good quality Prosecco. The Prosecco is the base of the bellini, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a Prosecco that is dry and has a light, fruity flavor.
- Don't over-blend the bellini. You just want to blend the ingredients until they are combined. Over-blending will make the bellini too frothy.
- Serve the bellini immediately. Bellinis are best served immediately after they are made. They will start to lose their fizz and flavor if they sit for too long.
