Let’s talk about an Italian beauty. What am I on about, you ask? If you’ve heard about or tasted the Bellini, you will understand. If you haven’t, there is still time for you to find out what you have been missing out on. The Bellini is a widely known sparkling wine cocktail. Like many other cocktails, the recipe is quite easy, and it does liven up a gathering. Traditionally, sparkling Italian wine, particularly Prosecco, is used in the Bellini. This has not changed in Italy, but elsewhere, Champagne or any sparkling wine is often used. Note that Prosecco costs less than Champagne, so you should probably go for it.
Ingredients
peach juice: 2 oz
sparkling wine, such as Prosecco or Champagne: 4 oz
How To Make Bellini Cocktail
- Pour the peach juice into a champagne flute.
- Top it up with the sparkling wine.
Tip
Prepare some cocktail snacks ahead of time and store it in your Vaya Tyffyn. They will be ready to enjoy with your Bellini.
