Peaches: If you don't have frozen peaches on hand, you can try using other frozen fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or raspberries. The flavor profile will change slightly, but it will still be delicious! Or, use fresh peach puree instead of frozen peaches.

Prosecco: Prosecco is the classic sparkling wine used in Bellinis, but you can try using other types of sparkling wine, like champagne. You could also use a non-alcoholic sparkling wine or club soda for a refreshing mocktail version.

Garnish: While basil is a great choice for this recipe, you can also try using other herbs like mint or thyme. Each herb will add a slightly different flavor and aroma to the drink, so have fun experimenting to find your favorite combination!
