This delicious peach flavoured cocktail is refreshing and perfect all year round. It was originally made in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, a bartender and owner of Harry’s Bar, who was commissioned to create a drink in honour of a famous Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. It’s quick and easy to make and can be made regular or frozen. If you’d like to experience a Bellini from the experts, check out Harry’s Bar at San Marco 1323 Calle Vallaresso, Venice, or make it yourself! Either way, we hope you enjoy it!
