Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed recommended)
  • Sparkling wine or champagne (to top up the glass)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blackberries: Rinse the fresh blackberries under cold water and pat them dry gently with a clean towel to remove any moisture.
  2. Muddle the Blackberries: Place the blackberries into a cocktail shaker or a glass and gently muddle them with a muddler or the back of a spoon just enough to release their juices without completely crushing the berries.
  3. Mix the Ingredients: Pour in the orange juice over the muddled blackberries and stir gently to combine the flavors evenly.
  4. Assemble the Mimosa: Pour the sparkling wine or champagne into the mixture or directly into serving glasses, topping to your desired level while allowing bubbles to remain.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass with fresh blackberries and a sprig of mint if desired, then serve immediately chilled for best taste and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh blackberries and freshly squeezed orange juice for optimal flavor; frozen blackberries can be used as a substitute if needed.
  • Try alternative juices like pineapple or grapefruit juice for different flavor profiles.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding simple syrup if desired.
  • Chill glasses before serving to keep the drink cold longer.
  • Store leftover fresh blackberries in a breathable container in the fridge for up to one week, and keep freshly squeezed orange juice refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
