Notes

A Bellini is a cocktail of fruit puree and sparkling wine, champagne or prosecco, invented by the Italians – traditionally peach is used. This concoction was made up by my kitchen buddy Mike at My Food Bag when we had a bit of a party in the office (we love experimenting with new flavours and having a bit of fun at the end of the day!). Make the fruit puree in advance and keep it in a bottle or jug in the fridge for a couple of days (or you can even freeze it in an ice cube tray), then simply pour a bit into everyone’s glass, pop the top off a couple of bottles of champagne, and it’s time to party! Here’s another favourite cocktail of mine – pineapple mojito!
