This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Riondo Prosecco. All opinions are 100% mine.
I have some of the loveliest Italian Strawberry Bellini Cocktails for us today, made with chilled bubbly Riondo Prosecco, a white sparkling wine straight from Italy, fruity honey strawberry syrup or puree, plus an exotic touch of vanilla.
Strawberry Bellini
Named after the Italian painter Giovanni Bellini, the classic Bellini is a mixture of peach puree and sparkling Prosecco wine, and rumor has it that it was invented in Venice Italy in the 1930s by a bartender name Giuseppe Cipriani.
So I ran with the original idea here but used juicy strawberries in lieu of peaches, plus a little special touch of vanilla to bring you this Florentina Bellini you can make at home any given day on a Tuesday. Giovanni ragazo, you had a good run!
It’s really important to completely chill the strawberry puree before mixing your cocktails, or use already chilled strawberries, because you really want this to be a refreshing drink in your hand.
This is your go to drink for backyard entertaining all summer long, or to serve at Sunday’s brunch by the pool, in the flower garden under the pergola, or to take it to go for a day at the beach.
Prosecco is an authentic Italian import beverage with an approachable consumer price point and the perfect beverage for summer to enjoy with friends!
