BELLINI

It may seem like the latest brunch trend, but sophisticated aristocrats were sipping Bellinis as early as the 1940s. This fruity drink was invented by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry’s Bar in Venice, and was inspired by the work of 15th-century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini. The Bellini rivals the Aperol Spritz as the quintessential summer drink.
