Bitter Bellini
The Bellini was invented in the years just after World War II at Harry’s Bar in Venice. The simple mixture of peach puree and prosecco is typically served in short glasses bearing the bar’s logo. Our version is a little more complex because of our Campari- and peach liqueur-spiked puree and the use of Cocchi Americano and soda in place of prosecco–a move I took from another classic Italian drink, the Bicicletta.
Combine all in a blender or blending tin (from a milkshake blender). Blend without ice for 12-15 seconds until fluffy. Pour over ice in a Collins glass. Garnish if desired.
