Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen peaches, thawed
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen strawberries, thawed
- 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen blueberries or blackberries, thawed
- 4 to 6 (750-ml) bottles Prosecco or other sparkling wine, chilled
- Fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, for garnish
- Orange peel twists, for garnish
Directions
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 1/2 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer and into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. In a clean blender puree the strawberries with 1/3 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a clean fine-meshed strainer and into another bowl. Discard the seeds. Puree the blueberries in a clean blender with 1/3 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a clean fine-meshed strainer and into a third bowl. Discard the seeds and solids. Pour each of the purees into clear glass bowls or small pitchers.
For each serving, pour 2 to 4 tablespoons of the desired fruit puree into a Champagne flute. Slowly pour enough Prosecco into the flute to fill. Gently stir to blend. Garnish with the whole berries, as desired, and serve.
Do-Ahead Tip: The fruit purees can each be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.

This was very easy and wonderful. We don't drink so I used Non-alcoholic Brut and it was fantastic. Not to sweet, just perfect.

Awesome idea! Instead of pureeing the fruit, I cook it down with sugar until syrupy. Strain; cool; serve. We prefer champagne for the bubbles. Uses less fruit flavoring. May have to experiment with ratios based on preferences.

I love how Giada just knows how to make some things simple! I made these for a Bridal Shower I hosted and they were a hit! Peach was the favorite of the group but I also did blackberry and strawberry. I recommend using a larger glass than a champaign flute because it seems like when you are putting the fruit puree into the glass it may not be enough but then the champaign fizzes up and you have to keep refilling the glass until you get the right mix. Overall - LOVED IT!
