Blackberry Mint Mimosa
A summery spin on the classic mimosa that makes perfect use of the season’s fresh produce with juicy blackberries and a touch of mint.
- Yield: 1 cocktail 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 ounces fresh blackberry juice*
- 5 spearmint leaves
- coarse sugar (I used Demerara), for muddling
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup**
- dry champagne, well-chilled
- fresh blackberries, for garnish (optional)
- spearmint sprig, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add juice, mint, and coarse sugar to a cocktail shaker and muddle to release mint oils. Add simple syrup and shake well.
- Strain mixture into a champagne glass and top off with champagne. Garnish with fresh blackberries and/or mint sprig and serve.
Notes
*To make blackberry juice, muddle fresh blackberries and strain juices out through a cheesecloth.
***To make simple syrup, stir together 8 ounces (1 cup) water with 7 ounces (1 cup) granulated sugar in a saucepan set over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, just until the sugar has dissolved into the water. Store in a jar or other airtight container in the refrigerator. This will make enough for several drinks.
