Sometimes, it’s okay to mess with a classic—such is the case with the Mango Bellinitini at Pistachio Bar & Grille. Their version of a Bellini turned martini is exactly the kind of creative concoction that has kept a loyal following flocking to this Allentown favorite. Amid their large and ever-changing martini menu the Mango Bellinitini is by far their most popular drink, bartender Morgan Spence says. “By adding mango vodka, mango puree and lemon juice it gives the ordinary Bellini (which is just peach schnapps and champagne), a delicious fruitiness with some tang from the lemon juice,” she adds. The sweetness of the mango and peach ingredients combine perfectly with the dry crispness of the champagne—a winning combination you will want to experience more than once. Lucky for us, this refreshing cocktail will kick off Pistachio’s new Cocktail of the Month series, where signature martinis and revivals of forgotten classics will make their debut.
