Things to know about the Bellini

The Bellini is a classic cocktail that originated in Venice, Italy, in the 1930s. It is named after the famous Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini, who was known for the use of bright colors in his artwork.

The drink was first created by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry's Bar in Venice and quickly became a favorite among the bar's patrons.

Cipriani was inspired by a particular painting by Bellini when creating the cocktail. In gratitude, he dedicated his drink to the painter.

The Bellini has been a popular drink among famous personalities for decades. Its fans include Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote and Elizabeth Taylor.
