💡 What's interesting
Culturally, the Bellini was invented at Harry's Bar in Venice and named after the Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini, whose paintings featured similar pink hues. Nutritionally, using fresh pear purée instead of sugary syrups can increase the fiber and vitamin content, making it a slightly more wholesome cocktail choice.
