George Hirsch’s Fresh Squeezed Mimosa
Makes 2 drinks
chefgeorgehirsch.com | George Hirsch Lifestyle TV Series
2 cups Prosecco
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice, or fresh peach juice
2 small scoops lemon sorbet
2 sprigs fresh mint
In two champagne or margarita glasses, divide the orange juice and Prosecco. Place one scoop of sorbet in each glass. Top with mint. Serve immediately.
Tips: With champagne or sparkling wine, you can trust the fresh-squeezed orange juice to take the edge off lesser quality champagne or sparkling wine. For this drink, you can use a less expensive wine, spending about $10 to $18 for a good domestic bottle. Or, as I personally prefer to use a good Prosecco for under $15.
When opening Champagne or Prosecco, use a gentle twist - save the bubbles for the inside of the glass and not the floor.
