Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (or 1 cup peach puree)
- Fresh peach slices
Sweetener and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Sparkling Wine:
- 1 bottle champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
Garnish:
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Transform ripe peaches into a velvety puree by pulsing them in a blender until completely smooth, incorporating a touch of sugar and a hint of lemon juice to elevate the natural sweetness and brightness.
- Carefully strain the peach mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve an ultra-silky texture, pressing gently to extract maximum flavor while eliminating any fibrous remnants.
- Select elegant champagne flutes and deposit a generous dollop of the lustrous peach puree into the base of each glass, creating a vibrant golden foundation.
- Tilt the glass slightly and cascade the chilled champagne over the puree, allowing the two liquids to intermingle gracefully and create a stunning ombré effect.
- Delicately blend the layers with a slender cocktail spoon, ensuring a harmonious marriage of peach essence and sparkling wine without disrupting the drink’s effervescence.
- Crown each mimosa with an artful garnish – a translucent peach slice perched on the rim or a verdant mint sprig for a sophisticated finishing touch.
- Present immediately while the bubbles are at their peak, inviting guests to savor this elegant and refreshing summer libation.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar levels in peach puree based on peach ripeness and personal preference.
- Ensure smooth texture by using ripe, soft peaches and straining puree through fine-mesh sieve for silky consistency.
- Chill champagne and glasses beforehand to maintain optimal temperature and prevent dilution of fruity flavors.
- Create alcohol-free version by substituting champagne with sparkling water or non-alcoholic prosecco for family-friendly option.
