What is the bartender tip for a Bellini?
The IBA uses 100 ml prosecco and 50 ml white peach purée. Frozen peach pulp (the common supermarket kind) works at home: thaw it and blend smooth, no chunks. A domestic brut sparkling wine can replace the prosecco; a sweet one (demi-sec) gets cloying with the purée. Stir only enough to combine — shaking kills the bubbles. Cold flute, no ice in the glass: the ice stays in the mixing glass. The catalog's Red Mimosa is red wine with orange; the French 75 has gin. Here the fruit is peach and the base is just the sparkling wine.
