Fashion Week started on Friday and I thought for today's happy hour cocktail I would do my favorite fashionable drink recipe, the Bellini. I first became obsessed with drinking Bellinis while reading Bergdorf Blondes. Typically a Bellini is made with fresh white peach puree but since it's winter I say we substitute the peach puree with blood orange juice. If you have never had a Bellini you MUST try one right now. Oh my gosh, this is the first time ever that I want to get up and leave my desk, run down to Whole Foods for some blood oranges, and stir up a Bellini for everyone in the office.

- Place the flutes in the freezer.
- Chill the prosecco on ice for 30 minutes.
- Open the prosecco and let it stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.

blood oranges are sooooo pretty.
1Bellinis are so so good, and I am definitely going to try this blood orange version. Great suggestion!
2I love blood orange. We used some in a new cocktail we created for our underground restaurant. We used saffron-infused vodka, a tiny bit of lime, blood orange juice, Bokker's bitters (a type of bitters that was last found about 100 years ago, I think...my friend makes his own!) and a little bit of simple syrup. Blood orange bellinis would be awesome.
3Ooh - saffron-infused vodka. Cool.
