Peach Bellini Cocktails

 

Where Did the Bellini Originate?

The Bellini blend can be traced back to Harry’s Bar in Venice during the 1940s. Head bartender Giuseppe Cipriani put this drink on the menu as a seasonal item, inspired by the notable failure of white peaches, which were only available for 4 months out of the time.

When peach pulp started to come commercially available time- round, the drink set up itself a popular fave at Harry’s Bar’s New York position. The drink was named the “ Bellini ” for the Italian Renaissance painter Giovani Bellini’s use of a color color in his oils. A many drops of jeer juice were occasionally added to the drink to give it further of a pink color. still, blending the fresh white peaches with their skins also gives the drink a subtle color color as well. Peach Nectar is a Great Sub for This blend!

While fresh peaches were the reason the drink was created — as Cipriani wanted to showcase their flavor in a drink you can also use peach quencher as a successful cover. Just keep in mind that quencher will give your drink further of a unheroic color, so you may not get that “ Bellini ” color look.
