BELLINI
Milestone's is the original home of the Bellini.
Often copied. Never duplicated.

A cool blend of premium white rum, peach liqueur
and champagne, topped with sangria.

but i know theres more to it cuz the one my gf had, was made from crushed ice... can someone point me to the original recipe? PLEASE!!! :D

The bellini, is said to have originated in Harry's Bar at the Hotel Cipriani in Venice, opened by Giuseppe Cipriani in 1931. Supposedly Ernest Hemingway was a regular.

The drink is the Bellini, a mixture of white peach juice and sparkling prosecco, named after the fifteenth-century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini

I have only had it for a brunch type drink where it's one part peach schnapps and 3 parts champagne -- served in a champagne glass.

The authentic recipe:
