how to make a Bellini Cocktail.
Really refreshing
If you celebrate New Year’s Eve
like a lot of us here at the Ideal Wine Company do, we bet you have a lot of
Champagne stored at home right now. This is the perfect drink for ringing in
the New Year, but if you don’t consume every last drop, what should you do with
your extra Champagne?
You might want to use it to craft
a few sumptuous Champagne cocktails! We’d suggest you try making a Bellini
Cocktail – a delicious fruity drink that packs a big punch. The Bellini was
invented at the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice during the 1930s or 1940s, according
to About.com, and has gone on to become popular with wine enthusiasts
across the world.
How to make
The great thing about the Bellini
Cocktail is that it’s really easy to make. You won’t need much either – just
Champagne, a peach, a blender and a Champagne flute. Then you should follow the
five steps listed below:
· Prepare
the peach: The first thing you need to do is remove the stone from your
peach, and cut it into small pieces.· Puree: This is the really important bit. Take the small chunks of peach, put them in the blender and blend at a high speed until pureed.
· Spoon in: After this you need to place about four teaspoons of the peach puree into the Champagne flute.
· Combine: Here’s where the Champagne comes in. Slowly top up the glass with Champagne until it’s about three-quarters full. You should wait for the bubbles to settle and stir vigorously with a bar spoon, after which you need to pour more Champagne into the glass until it’s full.
· Garnish: If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you could add a garnish – although it’s not traditional to do so. You might want to opt for orange, lemon, or even lime to give your finished cocktail an extra kick.
