The Bellini is the perfect cocktail for any occasion, whether it’s brunch with friends, a welcome drink at your next party, or an aperitif for an elegant dinner. The particularly nice thing about it: it is super tasty and really easy to prepare.

This cocktail is an excellent alternative for the well-known Mimosa, which is better known in this country as “sparkling wine with OJ” and is served as a welcome drink at almost every event. So if you want to surprise your guests, offer them a Bellini.

The history of the Bellini cocktail

The Bellini was created in the 1940s in Venice, Italy. More specifically, in Harry’s Bar and looks quite similar to the well-known Mimosa. Instead of fresh orange juice, however, Bellini’s uses pureed white peaches. As a true Italian, there is of course only one correct answer to the question of the right sparkling wine for the cocktail: Prosecco!

When Giuseppe Cipriani invented the drink in the first half of the 19th century, its pink color reminded him of a painting by Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini and named it after him.

At the time, the original Bellini consisted of two parts dry Prosecco* and one part white peach puree, along with a dash of raspberry juice or cherry juice, which gave it a particularly appealing coloration.
