Página 36

The effervescent Bellini is a classic, refreshing and delicious drink, perfect for any occasion. The original recipe was created at the famous Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy and is admired around the world for its unique taste and attractive appearance. Learning to make a fizzy Bellini is a skill that is sure to impress your guests and add a touch of sophistication to any event. Here's a detailed guide on how to create this magnificent cocktail.

To start, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 parts of prosecco
• 1 part peach puree
• A touch of raspberry or cherry for color

In terms of equipment, you'll need a flute or champagne flute, a bar spoon for stirring, and a sieve for straining the peach puree.

The first step to making a fizzy Bellini is to prepare the peach puree. You can buy ready-made peach puree at specialty stores, but making your own at home will allow you to control the sweetness and consistency, resulting in an even more delicious cocktail.

To make peach puree, you will need fresh, ripe peaches. Cut the peaches in half, remove the pit and use a spoon to scoop out the pulp. Put the pulp in the blender and beat until you get a smooth consistency. If you wish, you can add a little sugar for sweetness. Strain the puree through a sieve to remove any skin or pits that may remain.

Once the peach puree is ready, it's time to assemble the Bellini. Start by pouring a portion of the peach puree into the champagne flute. Then slowly add two parts of prosecco. It is important to add the prosecco slowly to prevent the drink from overflowing. Use the bar spoon to gently stir the prosecco and peach puree together, creating a smooth mixture.

To give the Bellini its signature color, add a hint of raspberry or cherry. Not only will this give the drink a nice rosy color, but it will also add an extra layer of flavor.

And there you have it - a perfectly prepared effervescent Bellini! This drink is best served immediately, while the prosecco bubbles are still active. For an even more attractive presentation, you can decorate the glass with a peach slice or a cherry.

Making a fizzy Bellini can seem a little intimidating at first, but with a little practice, you'll be able to whip up this classic cocktail with ease. Remember, the key to a great Bellini is using high quality ingredients and adding the prosecco slowly to keep the bubbles. So the next time you're planning brunch or a party, surprise your guests with a homemade fizzy Bellini. Cheers!
