Sparkling Blood Orange Bellini Recipe

When entertaining, not only do you want your guests to have a wonderful time, but you also need to have a few quick and easy drink recipes ready to go. This blood orange bellini recipe is just that, quick easy and has only 2 ingredients.

A small bottle of Astoria Prosecco, an empty champagne flute, and a halved blood orange sit on a rustic wooden surface, ready to inspire your next bellini recipe against a textured, dimly lit background.

What is the difference between this bellini recipe and a mimosa cocktail?

The difference between a bellini and mimosa is in the alcohol used. A bellini uses a dry sparkling Italian Prosecco, whereas a mimosa uses bubbly French champagne. Both taste amazing and are perfectly bubbly! And if you want to play with the citrus notes in this bellini, stirring in a flavored simple syrup is a lovely way to do it, a blood orange or Meyer lemon syrup would be absolutely gorgeous here.

Want to serve mimosa at your next dinner party? If serving for a crowd, champagne can add up quickly, it’s definitely a beautiful cocktail, but for a more budget-friendly way to go, prosecco is a great substitute. In essence, opt for serving bellinis instead.
