Ingredients
- 5 ripe white nectarines
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 210 ml Aperol
- 1 bottle prosecco (750 ml)
Instructions
Peel your nectarines with either a peeler or a paring knife. Dice them, keeping as much of the juice as possible. Place in a blender with the lemon juice and pulse until a purée. Press the mixture through a fine sieve.
Place 5 dessertspoons of this mix into the bottom of 4 large wine glasses and then half-fill with ice.
Pour over 30 ml Aperol per glass.
Top the glasses with prosecco, about 100 ml each, give the glass a gentle swirl to mix and serve immediately.
Cook’s tips
• Nectarine purée freezes nicely and if you have a stockpile of it in your freezer then aperitivo hour is always just a moment away. There are many types of prosecco - I like a good dry one.
