PEACH MELBA RASPBERRY ROSé BELLINI COCKTAIL RECIPE

Steps:

Blend until very smooth, about 1 minute.Taste the mixture and add more honey -- up to 3 tablespoons total -- if desired.

It's a bit of an art seeing as raspberries and peaches vary in sweetness!Pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve at least once to remove any raspberry seeds.
