National Prosecco Day

 

Celebrate National Prosecco Day with a Harry’s Bar Bellini with the delightful Italian sparkling wine.

 

 

 

 

Naturally, we can’t all be in Venice, Italy, and pop into the famed establishment where the classic beverage was first created. However, we can easily make genuine Bellinis at home. Harry’s Bar has a full-time staff member dedicated to pureeing white peaches for their Bellinis.

 

 

 

The official recipe is prosecco, white peach puree, and a touch of raspberry puree. That was added to offset the inconsistent sweetness level of fresh peaches. It’s not served fancy at Harry’s… just in a regular glass and no garnishes.
