Strawberry Bellini (Rossini) | The Mediterranean Dish
Strawberry bellini, also known as a Rossini, is an easy Italian cocktail made with just 3 ingredients: strawberries, sugar, and Prosecco. Make this sparkling cocktail all summer long!
Make the Strawberry Purée. Reserve 3 whole strawberries for garnish, then slice off the tops of the remaining pint and add to a blender or a food processor. Add the sugar and purée until smooth.
Strain the Strawberry Purée. Pour the strawberry mixture through a sieve into a container or small pitcher. Use a metal spoon (and some patience) to agitate the mixture so just the juice drips through, leaving the seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
Make the Bellinis. Slice the reserved strawberries in half lengthwise, then cut a small slit through the bottom of each strawberry so you can rest it on the glass. Divide the strawberry puree among 6 Champagne flutes or wine glasses (about 1-inch of puree each) and top with Prosecco. Push a strawberry into the side of each glass where you cut the slit to garnish. Cheers!
