The Celini was Flowing

At the Wine Rack

Chris Reckord

Thursday, February 02, 2012



With the excitement around Celine Dion at this year's staging of the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, a number of sponsors were organising different tributes to celebrate her presence. Platinum Sponsor Flow reached out to me to assist them to create a special sparkling wine cocktail for guests of their skybox on the Friday night that Celine performed.

We called the drink "Celini", inspired by the simplicity of a Bellini and the grace and elegance of Celine Dion. A Bellini is a mixture of sparkling wine (traditionally prosecco) and peach purée often served at celebrations. It is one of Italy's most popular cocktails.

Recipe - The Celini is two parts Santa Margherita Prosecco and one part Pure Country Cherry Juice; serve in a standard champagne flute garnish with a cherry in the glass.

The Celini was a hit and kept bar staff on their toes to keep up with the demand.
