CLASSIC BELLINI COCKTAIL
The Bellini was created in the late 1930s to early 1940s by Guiseppe Cipriani at the legendary Harry's Bar in Venice, a favorite hangout for expats including Ernest Hemingway, Sinclair Lewis, and Orson Welles. The fruity cocktail owes its name and color to Cipriani's fascination with Giovanni Bellini, a 15th-century Venetian artist. Originally prepared with Prosecco and white peach puree, it's perfectly acceptable to use yellow peach puree or prepared peach nectar and/or peach schnapps. Sip and feel sophisticated!

Steps:
- Sweeten the peaches to taste, stir in the lemon juice and put into a punch bowl. Add the champagne and mix well.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches. This will ensure that your bellinis are sweet and delicious.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice will not provide the same bright, citrusy flavor.
- Chill your prosecco and peach puree before using. This will make your bellinis extra refreshing.
- Garnish your bellinis with a fresh peach slice or a sprig of mint. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.
- Serve your bellinis immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh.
