Say cheers to Bellini!

Do you like experimenting with different cocktail flavors? If yes, then definitely go ahead and indulge in a Bellini! Bellini is a long drink cocktail traditionally made with sparkling wine (mainly Prosecco, the Italian sparkling wine) and peach puree. Do you know it is one of the most popular cocktails in Italy? Bellini was apparently invented by Giuseppe Cipriani the chief bartender at Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy sometime around 1943. Bellini became a seasonal specialty of the Harry’s Bar which was frequented by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles. You can judge its popularity from the fact that it is an International Bartenders Association (IBA) official cocktail. You must be wondering what that means! It means that the Bellini is one of the several cocktails selected for use in the annual World Cocktail Competition. Jack Robertiello, editor of Cheers magazine says, I think that the Bellini growth is tied to the very strong Italian chain restaurant growth, especially Olive Garden, since Italian restaurants are where Bellinis and drinks like them are featured and promoted. So, if you want to taste the exotic flavor of the Bellini you would need the following: � 2 oz peach puree ( you can substitute this with peach juice or even some other fruit puree in case peaches are not available ) � 4 oz Prosecco (or any other sparkling wine, though, French Champagne is not recommended because of its strong flavor) � Champagne flute Now, pour the peach puree/juice into the Champagne flute and then slowly add the sparkling wine to it and serve it in style! Call in a few special friends home, put on your favorite music, and, enjoy the light fruity flavor of the Bellini!
