This strawberry nectarine lime bellini is a super refreshing summer drink.
Want to know the best way to start off the weekend?
Champagne.
After seeing Jessica’s triple berry mojitos yesterday I was inspired.
Inspired to finally make simple syrup for myself.
Inspired to puree fruit in a blender.
And mostly, inspired to drink.
After a 7 day work week, I think I deserved it.

I didn’t think ripe summer fruit could get better than it already is but, I was wrong.
Champagne tends to have that effect on things.


Need to forget about the work week stresses? Make this bellini.
Want to pretend you’re on vacation on a tropical island? Make this.
Need to drown out the 10 neighborhood kids screaming for 5 hours straight as they jump in the pool? Again, a strawberry nectarine bellini won’t let you down.

I had to wait until 5pm to drink this yesterday. Lucky for you it’s Saturday, what are you waiting for?
Need a mocktail version? Try this strawberry nectarine lime smoothie instead.
