Ingredients
For the Blackberry Mimosa
-
½ cup fresh blackberries
-
1 teaspoon honey or sugar
-
1 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice
-
4 ounces champagne or sparkling wine

Fresh mint sprig or a blackberry, for garnish
Method
In a small bowl, gently mash the fresh blackberries with the honey or sugar until their juices are released and the mixture becomes fragrant and vibrant. For a smoother finish, strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds, if desired.
Pour the blackberry puree into a chilled champagne flute, followed by the fresh orange juice. Slowly top with champagne or sparkling wine, allowing the bubbles to lift and blend the flavors.
Finish with a fresh blackberry or a delicate sprig of mint for an elegant garnish before serving.
