Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 oz Amarena cherry syrup
- 1 Amarena cherry
- 4 oz champagne chilled
Instructions
- Carefully pour Amarena cherry syrup into the center of a flute glass. Take care not to drip the syrup on the sides of the glass, as it is thick and will cling to the surface.
- Gently place an Amarena cherry into the syrup at the bottom of the glass.
- Slowly pour chilled champagne or sparkling wine into the glass, allowing the bubbles to mix naturally with the syrup.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Bloody Champagne Bellini!
Notes
- For a more dramatic presentation, you can slightly chill the Amarena cherry syrup before adding it to the glass to create a denser, more pronounced layer at the bottom.
- To avoid disturbing the syrup, pour the champagne slowly and steadily down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon.
- Garnish with a twist of lemon or orange peel for an added citrus note, if desired.
