In creating what was to become known as the Bellini cocktail in 1948, Giuseppe Cipriani was once again inspired by a painter, the fifteenth century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. Peaches were in abundance throughout Italy from June through September, and he had a predilection for the white ones. So much so, in fact, that he kept wondering whether there was a way to transform this magic fragrance into a drink he could offer at Harry's Bar. He experimented by pureeing small white peaches
and adding some Prosecco. Those who tested this
new concoction gave it rave reviews, and he was
encouraged to pursue his alchemy. He named it Bellini
and from that day on the drink became part of Harry's
Bar culture and all Cipriani restaurants around the
world.
