where does the bellini come from
The Italian peach Bellini recipe was invented in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, the same Harry’s Bar chief bartender that invented the Rossini cocktail.
the bellini original recipe
He was inspired by a Giovanni Bellini’s painting and by the pinkish color of the toga of a saint portrayed. Yes, pinkish, cause initially, the Bellini included a bit of raspberry juice, that you can add, of course.
