Today’s recipe is this delicious Apple Cider Bellini. This is the perfect Fall cocktail for brunch or a girl’s date, similar to an Apple Cider Mimosa, but using Prosecco instead of champagne. Bellinis are some of our favorite cocktails. This simple seasonal cocktail only calls for a few ingredients, let’s talk about how to make it!

Why we love this cocktail-

We love the combination of apple cider and Prosecco in this drink. Prosecco is a sparkling wine so the flavors mix beautifully, and it is our favorite bubbly drink for Fall.
Just two ingredients in this recipe, not counting the garnish!

You are definitely going to want a sip of this bubbly treat!

Apple Cider Bellini Cocktail Ingredients

3 oz. chilled Prosecco
3 oz. Apple cider
Fresh apple slices

Tip: Fresh apple cider is delicious. If you can’t get your hands on fresh apple cider, we love Musselman’s, which you can find at your local grocery store.

Substitutions:

Prosecco- You can always use your favorite champagne, instead! Anything bubbly.
Apple Cider- Not a fan of cider? Substitute this for apple juice!
Garnish- You could also garnish this with a fresh sprig of rosemary. If you do use apples, make sure to give them a little bath in lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
To make this drink a little sweeter, add a splash of simple syrup!

How to make an Apple Cider Bellini

In your favorite champagne flutes, combine apple cider and prosecco. Give it a gentle stir, and garnish with fresh apple slices and enjoy!

Tip: We don’t use a cocktail shaker for this, because the bubbly prosecco wouldn’t do well being shaken.

Large Batch Apple Cider Bellinis

To make a big batch of apple cider bellinis to serve a crowd, you can simply combine a bottle of prosecco and 3 cups or 24 oz apple cider into a large pitcher. Keep chilled until ready to serve!

A good brunch is not complete without mimosas or bellinis, and this recipe has a glorious taste of Fall that everyone will love. It is the perfect brunch drink during the cooler Fall months.

Apple Cider Bellini FAQs

What is the alcohol content of a bellini?

Bellini cocktails average 7% ABV, but you can go by whatever alcohol content your Prosecco has, although it will be a little less since it is diluted by the apple cider or other puree ingredients in your Bellini.
