Rhubarb bellini recipe

3 ratings

This refreshing, fun tipple is based on a classic bellini, which is usually made by mixing prosecco or Champagne with peach purée. In this recipe, we top it with a fresh rhubarb purée instead. Simple, sweet, tangy and beautifully bubbly, it's the perfect cocktail to enjoy on Mother's Day. See method

Method

  1. Put the rhubarb, caster sugar and 2 tbsp water in a saucepan and cook over a low heat, covered, for 3 mins. Remove the lid, increase the heat slightly and cook for a further 5-8 mins, until the rhubarb is softened. Allow to cool for 10 mins.
  2. Using a blender, purée the cooled rhubarb mixture, then set aside until at room temperature. Chill until needed.
  3. Just before serving, make the rhubarb ribbons. Using a swivel peeler, press the rhubarb onto a hard surface to flatten slightly, then hold down firmly and draw the peeler down the rhubarb.
  4. To serve, divide the purée between 6 glasses and top up with prosecco. Garnish the glasses with the rhubarb ribbons.
