Apricot Bellini

February 23, 2014 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments

Apricot Bellini  6

We are having a really hot February here in Perth. To keep cool, we have been eating a lot of our meals outside in our alfresco area. We live in a coastal area and everything cools down with the lovely afternoon sea breeze. We have been enjoying some refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails of an evening. This week we have been drinking Apricot Bellini’s which are so revitalising and delicious. They would be perfect for a baby shower, a brunch, or a picnic in the park. They look so pretty and colourful.

Apricot  Bellini

Made from apricot nectar, sparkling grape juice, crushed ice and a sprig of fresh mint, apricot bellinis are so delicious and simple to prepare. Apricots and their nectar are a good source of beta carotene, Vitamin A and Vitamin C so they have some health benefits as well. Apricot bellinis only takes a few minutes to make and they are a nice change from our usual summer drinks of water and diet soda. For more of a punch you can use Champagne in place of the sparkling grape juice.
