Fruity Bellini Three Ways

When making these festive drinks, offer your guests a choice of fruit purees—white peach, mango or raspberry. Each puree recipe yields about 1 1/2 cups; you will need 2 Tbs. puree for each bellini. You can make the purees in advance and freeze them in separate ice-cube trays for up to 2 weeks, or up to 3 months if stored in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag.
