This sweet, rosy aperitif is made with Prosecco and peach purée or nectar. The Bellini has developed for itself a stylish and refined aura, despite its simple recipe.
Venice features again as a cocktail birthplace when it comes to our dreamy Bellini. The cocktail was invented sometime between 1934 and 1948 by the founder of the famous Venetian Harry’s Bar, Giuseppe Cipriani. The drink started as a seasonal specialty at the bar, later becoming a year-round favourite once the fresh white peach puree was made permanently available.
The Bellini’s unique peachy pink colour reminded Cipriani of the toga of a saint in a painting by 15th century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini, and so the drink was named after it.
Nowadays the Cipriani family produces Bellini base for the signature cocktail of the Harry’s Bar restaurants. It can also be found in pre-made versions in Australian bottle shops, though nothing beats a freshly mixed cocktail.
Create the Bellini at home with a simple & sweet recipe. Try out a hand at making your own peach nectar for a wholesome experience.
Ingredients
Method
The peachy Bellini is that perfect sweet & sparkly counterpart to any fancy brunch or dinner. It works well with soft and salty dishes, cream-based meals & spicy foods. Why not try a vegan spin on your cocktail night? Start straining your peaches & order in an Arrabbiata pasta and a Vegarita pizza for a plant-based cheesy and chilli combo.
