Jingle Bellini

Tis the season to drink champagne!  I was planning to write an article about signature cocktails and I got completely mesmerized by these beautiful Bellinis.  Made with any fruit you desire and with the spectacular range of colors it is a great choice for your wedding’s signature cocktail.  The original Bellini Cocktail was a mixture of Prosecco sparkling wine and peach puree but these days you can create any variation you want.  So delicious!
