Bellini – A Twist

Going ahead with easy mixes, here is one that I tried out in Bellini style. Bellini is the famous cocktail made with Prosecco and peach purée or nectar & which has its origin in Venice, Italy.

Well, no worries if Prosecco or Sparkling Wine is not around, I have replaced sparkling wine with tonic water & gave a gin base. I have my near Bellini style concoction out here. I have also mentioned some substitutes. Well, no harm – trial & error is the route to success.

Ingredients
Gin – 45 ml – (Or Vodka or Tequila)
Ginger Syrup – 15 ml
Lime juice – 10 ml
Orange juice – 25 ml ( Or Watermelon or Peach juice)
Sugar cube – 1
Bitters – 2 dashes (Or Brandy or Rum – 5 ml)
Tonic water – 30 ml ( Or any Tangy fizzy drink)
Flute glass – Or any cocktail glass🥂

Preparation Method
Drop a sugar cube in a flute glass & soak it with bitters. In a mixing glass, add in the gin, ginger syrup, lime juice & orange juice. Add a couple of ice cubes & stir gently. Strain it in the flute & top it up with tonic water.

There is my Bellini Twist. Give it a try & do tag me to your Bellini twist

Cheers!
