Reach For The Peach Bellini
One of the most famous bars in Europe has to be Harry’s Bar. It is located at San Marco 1323, just around the corner from St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) in Venice, Italy. This famous Hemingway hangout was founded in 1931 by Giuseppe Cipriani and his American business partner, Harry Pickering. It attracts tourists like iron filings to a magnet. Why the attraction to Harry’s? It’s the world-famous cocktail made with sparkling wine and peach nectar called a Bellini. A 200 ml glass at Harry’s Bar will set you back € 20. But why spend a fortune travelling to Venice for this libation sensation when you can enjoy it here. It takes its name from that famous Shakespearian character from neighboring Verona, Romeo Peach Bellini. It is available in over 600 LCBO outlets at an affordable $12.95 for the 750 ml bottle. It comes with an attractive, eye-catching peach coloured label, frosted glass bottle and an easy-to-open screw cap closure. A seductive bouquet of peach aromas waft from the bottle. The taste is pleasantly sweet with a beautiful balance of peach flavours, yet clocks in at a mere 5.9 % alc./vol. A great year-round refreshing drink and even more enjoyable as the spring weather warms up and leans toward summer.
