I made the mixed berry version of these and they were delightful. I had planned on making the manog as well, bit found even reducing the recipe, I still had enough for the two of us for the evening. Next time!! Very flavorful, and I agree, 2TBSP would be plenty - I used the wrong flute so I didn't get the best photo, but the flavor is delightful! Thanks for a nice party recipe!

I made these last night and thought they were amazing! This recipe (or one almost identical to it) is published in one of Giada de Laurentiis' cookbooks. As my guest list was quite small, I only made the traditional peach bellini and I only added 2 tbsp of the puree to each champagne flute and I think any more would have been overkill.
