“MoDat” Mimosas
Ingredients:
- 8-12 Mandarin oranges chilled. Can also mix types of mandarin oranges like Sumo and Clementine.
- 2-4 Blood or Raspberry oranges chilled
- 1-pint strawberries (room temp cause they taste better that way)
- 1 bottle of Prosecco (you guessed it…CHILLED) For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling white grape juice.
Instructions:
- Wash oranges. They’re dirty.
- Juice the different oranges and add them together. You will get more juice if the oranges are warm. But then you would have to chill the juice, and I know you can’t wait that long for this drink. Besides, the leftover pulp with its juice is favoloso! Strain to remove pulp and any seeds.
- Wash strawberries and remove the stems. (hulling, it’s called). Add strawberries and orange juice to Nutribullet. Blend or puree until happy. (We’re not the boss of you).
- Pour prosecco into (yep…chilled) Champagne flutes at a 45-degree angle until about half-filled. More or less depending on what type of day you plan to have. Why pour at a 45-degree angle? You lose fewer bubbles. You so silly!
- Top with that delizioso juice you just made…you flavor wizard, you.
After it fizzles down a bit, hit it again with that Prosecco. Full glass = less thirsty. - Garnish with strawberry and orange slice.
