Badass Bellini’s & Bantams For Your Brunch!

Planning a weekend brunch with the girls? In this cold winter weather its fun to stay in sometimes, cook up a great brunch, order in, and have some Badass Bellini’s! What makes Bellini’s badass? Well, it’s using nice sparkling wine, and the not so norm peach or pear juice to make this fun cocktail.

As mentioned before on Cocktail Craze, Bantam Bagels in the West Village is a hot spot for the best bagel balls ever! This creative concept has an array of flavored bagels, cream cheeses, and stuffed goodies. The flavors are always ever changing so its great to go in every week or two to see what’s new in the Bantam world.

Given were getting in the spirit of the next holiday coming up, it was no surprise that we had to try Bantam’s new valentines day bagels! The new Bantam’s are:

Cookies & Milk Bantam is a brown sugar walnut bagel filled with sweet walnut cream cheese
Red Velvet Bantam is a red velvet bagel filled with cream cheese icing cream cheese (AVAILABLE IN FEBRUARY)
French Toast Bantam is a cinnamon nutmeg egg bagel filled with a buttery maple syrupy cream cheese

Back to the Bellini’s using our interesting and fun flavors. The Bellini is a cocktail made using Prosecco and Peach Nectar or juice. Instead of Prosecco, we used Mumm Napa and some other fun flavorings, liquors, and spirits!
