Bellini Bar

So you want to have a kicky, clever sort of serve yourself drink party?

(Why yes, actually, I’d like one right now.)

You should have yourself a Bellini Bar!

Brought to me by my friend, the talented Chef Jeffrey Lawton, a Bellini Bar blends fruit puree, Prosecco and a whole lot of fun. Historically, Bellinis are made with white peach puree and Prosecco. But I say kicky’s the word of the day, and kicky our clever sort of serve yourself drink party shall be!

Some of the fruits you can use

1 bag frozen mango – defrosted

1 bag frozen peaches – defrosted

1 bag frozen raspberries – defrosted

1 bag frozen strawberries – defrosted

Per bag of fruit, you’ll also need

1/2 lemon

1/2 cup simple syrup

Per bag of puree, have one bottle of Prosecco on hand. I also like to serve club soda for those who’d prefer the alcohol-free route.

Get out your blender!
On high, blend 1 bag unfrozen fruit, juice of the half of one lemon and give or take 1/2 cup simple syrup.
Put the puree into a stylish pouring or spooning container, rinse out the blender and do it again with the next kind of fruit.

To Serve:

Pour/spoon 1/3 glass full of fruit puree.

Pour 2/3 glass full of Prosecco or sparkling wine.

Toast your friends.

Give thanks for friendship and the spirit of the kicky.

Bellini. Bellini. Bellini Bar.
