Keith's 1001 Cockatils: Honeydew Melon Bellini
Keith is a Bellini fan he just loves Prosecco wine and most of all he loves Prosecco's pairing with fruits as it inspires him to create a variety of cocktails with a touch of sweetness.. Prosecco is a dry sparkling Italian white wine and delicately compliments well with many fruits such as peaches, strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate , melon etc. Keith's favorite Bellini is "The Honeydew Melon Bellini".
Bellini's are refreshing, bubbly and fruity and are ideal to serve with appetizers.
Ingredients:
5 cups of diced honeydew melon, about ½ of a large melon
2 tbs lime juice
Sugar to taste based on the sweetness of the melon
1 bottle of chilled prosecco, champagne, cava or other sparkling wine
Preparation:
- Combine the diced honeydew melon with the lime juice and sugar in a blender and blend until you obtain a smooth puree.
- Strain the puree, chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
- Pour the honeydew melon puree into champagne flutes, no more than half full.
- Add the prosecco or other sparkling wine, pouring it gently to avoid making a bubbly mess.
- Stir lightly and serve immediately.
