The Mango Bellini is a tropical twist on the classic Bellini cocktail, which traditionally consists of Prosecco and peach purée. This variation replaces the peach with mango, offering a vibrant and exotic flavor profile. The drink is made with one part mango juice and two parts Champagne, served with a slice of fresh mango for garnish. The result is a refreshing and effervescent cocktail that combines the sweetness and richness of mango with the crisp, bubbly nature of Champagne, making it perfect for brunches, celebrations, or any occasion that calls for a touch of elegance and flair.
The original Bellini was created in the 1940s by Giuseppe Cipriani, the founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy. Named after the 15th-century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini, the cocktail was inspired by the pink hues of one of the artist’s paintings. Over time, the Bellini has evolved with numerous variations, including the Mango Bellini, which caters to those who favor a more tropical, fruity twist. This adaptation not only broadens the appeal of the classic Bellini but also showcases the versatility of Champagne-based cocktails.
