Brunch Basics: Blackberry Citrus Mimosa

Brunch and Mimosas, for many, go together like peanut butter and chocolate.  You can have one without the other, but isn’t it so much more fun when they are combined!  Why not do a twist though on an old favorite.  The blending together of the orange juice and the fresh blackberries really makes for a delicious combination.  The other great thing is that you can also make this into a fun, non-alcoholic drink for those who prefer not to have champagne.  Combine the juice mixture with either club soda or ginger ale for a bubbly non-alcoholic alternative!

Blackberry Citrus Mimosa

• 60 fluid oz Orange Juice
• 6-8 oz fresh blackberries
• 1 bottle of champagne (or ginger ale, club soda, etc. for non-alcoholic version)

Blend together the orange juice and blackberries until smooth consistency.

Refrigerate juice mixture for at least one hour.

Pour champagne to half way point of glasses.  Add juice mixture until glass is full.

Click glasses and enjoy!
