A refreshing, elegant cocktail that combines the sweet-tart flavor of fresh blackberries with bright orange juice and crisp sparkling wine. Perfect for brunch, celebrations, or any special occasion!
📝 Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 bottle chilled Prosecco or Champagne
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- Whole blackberries (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Blackberries
Rinse the blackberries under cold water and pat them dry.
2. Muddle the Berries
Place the blackberries in a cocktail shaker or bowl. Gently muddle them using a muddler or the back of a spoon until they release their juices.
3. Mix the Juice
Pour the orange juice over the muddled blackberries and stir until well combined.
4. Assemble the Mimosa
Fill each champagne flute about ⅓ full with the blackberry-orange juice mixture. Slowly top with chilled Prosecco or Champagne, allowing the bubbles to remain light and sparkling.
5. Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a few whole blackberries and a fresh mint leaf for an elegant finish. Serve immediately while chilled.
💡 Tips
- Fresh blackberries and freshly squeezed orange juice provide the best flavor.
- Always chill the sparkling wine before serving.
- For a unique twist, substitute orange juice with pineapple or grapefruit juice.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in a little simple syrup before adding the sparkling wine.
- Pour the sparkling wine slowly to preserve its bubbles.
