BELLINI Bellini cocktail Type: Wine cocktail  Served: Straight up without ice  IBA specified ingredients: 10 cl (2 parts) Prosecco 5 cl (1 part) fresh peach purée  Preparation: Pour peach purée into chilled glass, add sparkling wine. Stir gently.  Notes: Traditionally a Bellini uses white peaches for the fruit.  The Bellini was invented sometime between 1934 and 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy.

After an entrepreneurial Frenchman set up a business to ship fresh white peach purée to both locations, it became a year-round favorite.  The Bellini is an IBA ...
