Bellini

Cultural Context

Originating from Venice, the Bellini is a classic Italian cocktail created in the 1940s by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry's Bar. This refreshing drink combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with sparkling prosecco, making it a popular choice during the summer months. Traditionally, it is enjoyed as an aperitif, often served at celebrations and gatherings. Today, variations exist worldwide, with some adding different fruits or flavors to the mix.
