Materials
- 60 ml Peach Liqueur clear (e.g. Peachtree)
- 15 ml Licor 43
- 50 ml Cranberry Juice unsweetened
- 20 ml Banana Liqueur
- 20 ml Parfait d'Amour Liqueur
- 25 ml Lemon Juice
- Top-up with Prosecco extra dry
- 120 ml Total Yield - each
Instructies
- Prepare each Bellini separately.
- Shake the ingredients (except the Prosecco) vigorously with plenty of ice until well chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled flute.
- Top up gently with chilled Prosecco and stir once very lightly to preserve the bubbles.
- Serve immediately as a tasting flight, enjoying the three Bellinis in order.
For Atto II and Atto III, shake with a little more ice to add extra chill and dilution. These two acts contain a higher proportion of liqueur than Atto I, where the cranberry juice already provides more dilution and freshness.
Atto I – Cranberry
- 20 ml Peach Liqueur
- 15 ml Licor 43
- 50 ml Unsweetened Cranberry Juice
- 5 ml Lemon Juice
- Top up with Prosecco
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled flute.
Atto II – Banana
- 20 ml Peach Liqueur
- 20 ml Banana Liqueur
- 10 ml Lemon Juice
- Top up with Prosecco
Shake well with plenty of ice and strain into a chilled flute
Atto III – Parfait d'Amour
- 20 ml Peach Liqueur
- 20 ml Parfait d'Amour
- 10 ml Lemon Juice
- Top up with Prosecco
Shake well with plenty of ice and strain into a chilled flute
Serving suggestion: Enjoy each Atto individually as a full-size Bellini, share the three acts between guests, or select 0.5 servings for a lighter three-glass tasting flight. When preparing half servings, top up with Prosecco proportionally.
Bartender's Tip — Lighter Alternative: No Prosecco? Well-chilled, highly carbonated soda water works surprisingly well as a lighter alternative. Top up sparingly to avoid over-dilution and add a little extra fresh lemon juice to taste for acidity and balance.

Notities
The original Bellini was created in Harry's Bar, Venice, where its delicate peach colour reminded founder Giuseppe Cipriani of the soft pink tones found in the paintings of the Venetian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini.
Inspired by this Venetian tradition of elegance, Bellini in Tre Atti reimagines the classic as a tasting flight rather than a single cocktail.
Just as a traditional Italian opera unfolds through successive acts, each Bellini reveals a different interpretation of the same composition.
Atto I introduces vibrant cranberry freshness.
Atto II brings gentle tropical harmony through banana.
Atto III concludes with the graceful floral notes of Parfait d'Amour, creating an elegant finale worthy of its Venetian inspiration.
Different colours.
Different aromas.
Different personalities.
Yet every glass remains unmistakably a Bellini.
Original concept
Bellini in Tre Atti is an original cocktail flight created by Dabo's Design as a tribute to the timeless Bellini and the rich cultural heritage of Venice. It is an independent creative interpretation and is not affiliated with Harry's Bar or Hotel Cipriani.
