Equipment and Glassware
This Bunny Bellini cocktail is best served in a chilled champagne flute, which helps maintain the prosecco’s effervescence and elegant presentation. A bar spoon can be used for gently stirring, ensuring the flavors are well integrated without flattening the bubbles. A cocktail pick is perfect for skewering the raspberry and Peeps garnish, keeping the decoration stylish and intact.

- 0.5 oz raspberry liqueur
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
- Bunny Peeps Marshmallow for garnish
Instructions

Pro Tips
- Use fresh or high-quality peach purée for the best flavor—if making it yourself, blend ripe peaches with a touch of lemon juice.
- Pour the prosecco slowly down the side of the glass to keep the bubbles intact.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, swap prosecco for brut Champagne for a drier profile.
- Lightly muddle a raspberry at the bottom of the flute before adding the liquids for a richer berry flavor.
- Freeze the raspberries before garnishing to keep the drink extra chilled.
When to Serve

Which Liquor Brands to Choose
For prosecco, La Marca, Mionetto, or Ruffino offer a crisp, high-quality choice. Mathilde Framboise, Chambord, or Giffard Raspberry Liqueur are great options for a well-balanced, flavorful raspberry addition. If making homemade peach purée, use ripe yellow peaches for the best natural sweetness.
