How to make Blackberry Mimosas :
Prepare Blackberry Puree: In a blender, combine the blackberries and sugar. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
Chill Glasses: For a refreshing touch, chill your glasses in the refrigerator or freezer.
Combine Ingredients: In each glass, pour about 2 tablespoons of blackberry puree. Top with equal parts sparkling wine and orange juice. Gently stir to mix.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish with a few whole blackberries or a twist of orange peel.
Recipe Notes:
Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your preference and the sweetness of your blackberries, you might want to adjust the amount of sugar.
Sparkling Wine: Choose a sparkling wine that you enjoy drinking on its own. The quality of the sparkling wine affects the overall taste of the mimosa.
Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice will enhance the flavor, but store-bought juice works fine too.
Variations: Experiment with other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a different twist.
