The 'I Want To Forgive You' Pink Mimosa
This sophisticated, blushing mimosa embodies the bittersweet hope of reconciliation, much like a heartfelt apology shared over a chic brunch in a West Hollywood cafe. It’s a sparkling blend that promises a fresh start, or at least a beautiful moment, with every delicate, effervescent sip.
Directions
- 1
If desired, moisten the rims of six champagne flutes with a blood orange slice, then gently dip each rim into superfine sugar to create a delicate sugar rim.
- 2
In a small pitcher or liquid measuring cup, combine the chilled blood orange juice, strained raspberry puree, elderflower liqueur, and Angostura bitters until well mixed.
- 3
Gently pour approximately 1.5 ounces (about 3 tablespoons) of the juice and puree mixture into the bottom of each prepared champagne flute.
- 4
Slowly top each flute with 4-5 ounces (about 1/2 cup) of the chilled Brut Rosé sparkling wine, tilting the glass slightly to preserve effervescence.
- 5
Watch as the vibrant pink hue blooms, indicating the perfect balance of flavors and sparkle.
- 6
Carefully place one fresh raspberry and one small blood orange slice or twist onto the rim of each glass for an elegant presentation.
- 7
Serve immediately, ensuring the mimosas are sparkling and thoroughly chilled, inviting a moment of reflection and perhaps, a fresh start.
