Amaretto Orange Bellini

This Amaretto Orange Bellini is a super fast cocktail that is going to be your new favorite way to drink champagne! Love this and want even more amaretto? Make my classic Amaretto Sour !

So, as you know, I’m not shy about my love of a good cocktail. {Cough!} I could stand to be a little more shy. {Cough!} But I don’t love champagne. I don’t know what it is, maybe too dry? I’m just not sure, it’s not my favorite. Which I don’t feel good about (#drinkerproblems), because so many of my friends, like Dorothy , enjoy a good glass of champagne. And since one of the best things about enjoying a cocktail is when you enjoy it with a friend, I decided I needed to get on board.

So, I was in the middle of this photo shoot for that cute Champagne Bottle Printable you see in the background (coming soon!) when I decided that I couldn’t let a glass of poured champagne go to waste (#cheapo). So I decided to throw some more alcohol in there (#duh). I tried it with just Amaretto, but it was too bitter. I tried it with some grenadine too, and that wasn’t right either.

And then!

And then I tried it with equal parts Cointreau (an orange liqueur) and Amaretto, and it was perfection! Like a glass of champagne that I didn’t just think was drinkable, I thought I could drink like five of! You guys are going to love it! It’s super fast to throw together, and then you throw a little cherry in the bottom and it makes for a beautiful cocktail!
