Angelina's Life in Venice - April 8, 2011

Bellini Party - April 8, 2011
Buona Serra! Tonight some friends are coming over for cocktails. Did you know that Venice is the birthplace of the Bellini Cocktail? It was first served at Harry's Bar here in Venice in 1943. It was created to honor Giovani Bellini, the painter, by Giuseppi Cipriani.
Try one..cin cin!
My guests have all arrived except Roz. Mi scusi, I see her peeking around the front door now.
Finally the party can begin.

Bellini Recipe
2/3 cup white peach puree
1 teaspoon raspberry puree
l bottle chilled Italian Prosecco
Serve in tall champagne flutes.

  1. Hey Joan, the sketches are wonderful, the concept is different. I don't know how you find time to do multiple blogs! I can't keep up with the ones I have, let alone create a alter ego! LOL Have fun I will watch this all play out. I think Roz should donate her brain to science when she dies, interesting study! LOO
