Cocktail Recipe ~ Classic Bellini Cocktail

The Bellini was created in the late 1930s to early 1940s by Guiseppe Cipriani at the legendary Harry's Bar in Venice, a favorite hangout for expats including Ernest Hemingway, Sinclair Lewis, and Orson Welles. The fruity cocktail owes its name and color to Cipriani's fascination with Giovanni Bellini, a 15th-century Venetian artist. Originally prepared with Prosecco and white peach puree, it's perfectly acceptable to use yellow peach puree or prepared peach nectar and/or peach schnapps. Sip and feel sophisticated!

Serving:1 serving

Ingredients

  • 2 fluid ounces peach juice
  • 4 fluid ounces chilled sparkling wine
  • 1 tablespoon raspberry juice

Cooking Directions

  1. Pour peach juice into a champagne flute. Slowly pour sparkling wine over peach juice; let sit until liquids have blended, about 1 minute. Pour raspberry juice over champagne mixture.
Purists do not use Champagne to make this cocktail; it can be too flavorful and hide the subtle peach flavor; If a non-alcoholic cocktail is desired, use sparkling water in place of the sparkling wine.
