we’ve already established that i watch gossip girl. [shut it. it’s good!]

what we haven’t established is that i often watch with friends. while eating nachos. and drinking a bellini. high society, indeed.

the trouble with this? not many people know what a bellini truly is. here’s what it is not: champagne with fruit juice in it. remember, i didn’t say mimosa. i said bellini.

a true bellini is prosecco with white peach puree. and that’s it. no other fruit. not cava or champagne but prosecco. the bubbly-dry feel of the prosecco with the velvety-smooth texture of the peach…there’s nothing like it.

especially with nachos.

bellini

you need:

• champagne flutes
• 5 oz prosecco per drink
• 1 oz white peach puree (thawed if frozen) per drink

make a bellini:

1. plop the ounce of puree into the bottom of a champagne flute.
2. pour prosecco over.
3. stir gently.
4. turn on gossip girl and enjoy!
