Thirsty Thursday: The Bellini

If you follow me on Instagram you saw that we enjoyed Bellinis in our garden on Sunday afternoon. 

The Bellini is a champagne cocktail that features peach flavors and is divine. 

The first time I tasted this delicious drink was at Harry's Bar in Venice, where it was invented.

This is recipe is inspired by Harry's bar but is not a copy.

All ingredients can be found at our local liquor or grocery store.

The Bellini

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

5 oz Brut Champagne or sparkling wine

3 oz Peach nectar - Kerns or Peach Pureed Juice

1 oz Peach Schnapps

goblet or wine glass

Step 1. Pour 3 oz of peach juice in the glass.

Step 2. Pour 1 oz of Peach Schnapps over the nectar.

Step 3. Top off with at least 5 oz of brut champagne.

Note: I use a goblet so you are not making refills constantly but could also be adapted to be made by the pitcher.  Prosecco or spumante champagne will make this drink too sweet.

Cheers,

Amy
