Bellini cocktail

20 min • 4 to 6 servings •
John S
Peach Bellini cocktail garnished with a peach slice, surrounded by fresh peaches, ice, and a blender in a kitchen setting.

This is atributed to Giuseppi Cipriani, a bartender at Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy. A favorite of Ernest Hemingway and Noel Coward, it was inspired by a painting in the 1943 exhibition by Bellini.

Bellini’s are the perfect choice for a cocktail party when you want to create an air if sophistication.

Better yet this is a perfect recipe for parties as the puree can be made in advance and it becomes a simple cocktail to prepare to order and in quantity.
