The Rossini is another version of the Bellini cocktail. It began to become popular in the last century. Prepared with puree of fresh strawberries and prosecco or Champagne. Serve this cocktail in a fluted glass and you will have an elegant and refreshing drink. This cocktail is named after the composer Giacchino Rossini.

Recipe for the cocktail is 1/3 fresh strawberry puree to 2/3 cold Prosecco or Champagne. The preparation consists of the simple union of the ingredients ina glass with some ice.

The most complicated part of this (if you can call it that) is making the strawberry puree. The only way to do this is to put in a blender or small food processor. Once pureed, mix with a few drops of lemon juice and a some sugar syrup (made by mixing water and sugar over low heat till sugar is melted)
