The Bellini is the classic drink of Venice. Made from Prosecco, a slightly sweet sparkling white wine/champagne and pureed white peaches, it was developed at Harry's bar in Venice and named for the great artist. I first had a Bellini in Venice 10 years ago, while there with my daughter. We spent a sunny afternoon on the Piazza San Marco. On this sunny afternoon, my daughter and I shared a lovely strawberry Bellini made with fresh LA strawberries.
Purée a 1/2 pint of cleaned, whole strawberries with 11/2 tablespoons simple syrup. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of purée in a champagne glass and fill with champagne or prosecco. You may need to give it a little stir to incorporate the strawberries. It has a lovely, fresh fruit flavor. Salute!
