3 Ways to Enjoy Canella Bellini - Beyond Just Drinking It

The Bellini is a timeless cocktail from Venezia, well-loved for an aperitivo in a piazza. Canella Bellini takes all the classic flavors and makes it in a ready-to-drink format — all you need is a glass! Canella's recipe is three parts of Brut sparkling wine, one part of juice and pulp of the white peaches and a few drops of raspberry that give it the characteristic pink color. While we love Canella Bellini just as it is, there's even more fun to be had. We've pulled together three unique ideas on how to enjoy your Canella Bellini even more.

We'll start out with the easiest idea ever: a Bellini float! Add a scoop of lemon or raspberry sorbet to a coupe glass, then add enough Canella Bellini until the scoop starts to float. As the sorbet melts, it'll add a fun twist to the Bellini's classic flavor. We love lemon for the little extra brightness it adds, and raspberry is a nod to Canella's original recipe.

A traditional Italian summertime dessert is pesche al vino — peaches soaked in wine. We're super-boosting this idea with even more peach flavor, thanks to Canella Bellini! Simply slice some fresh peaches (we especially like white peaches, just like Canella) and cover them with Bellini. Let these soak for a few hours or even overnight. Serve them chilled as is, or, for an extra-decadent treat, add a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of ice cream on top.

Move over frosé — there's a new boozy slushie in town! We're taking Canella Bellini one step further for the ultimate summertime treat. Simply blend Canella Bellini with frozen peaches and/or raspberries until it's the perfect consistency. For a scoopable treat, add more fruit; for a sippable one, add more Bellini. We'll be enjoying this while chilling poolside.
