Watermelon Peach Bellini

Watermelon and peach is one of my favorite summertime combinations, and I love adding them to drinks.  My girlfriends and I love to get together for brunch, and this is a delicious, refreshing drink to serve with our meals!  The fruit will make enough puree that you can freeze the extra and have it for another day.
