Bellini Night

At last, it was time to put the peaches to good use and create our first Bellini in Nerja. This cocktail has its origins in Venice so it was only proper that we had it in the company of the Cipolata's.

The ingredients used for the Bellini are mainly peach and a sweet sparkling white wine, like cava or asti spumanti. The peaches are cut up and blended to make a puree. Monica added a touch of lemon and stored it in the fridge for later.


Blend the chopped peaches into a Puree.

In the evening it was a simple case of adding the cava to the puree along with a a touch of white wine and sugar and there you have it. This was my first Bellini but it won't be the last. It was a perfect aperitif and was followed with Antonella's secret recipe for "Pollo Asado". Lovely!


Bellini, cin cin!


Another wonderful Meal.

I am really being spoilt lately. Tomorrow night homemade tiramisu!
