Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blackberry Lime Sparkling Mimosa.
Step 1
To create a delightful blackberry syrup, start by placing a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
In it, combine one cup of fresh blackberries, one cup of water, half a cup of sugar, the zest and juice of one lime, and a pinch of saffron for a touch of luxury.
Step 3
Stir the mixture occasionally as it heats up, bringing it to a gentle boil.
Step 4
This should take about three minutes, and you’ll know it’s ready when the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step 5
Once that happens, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool down completely—this will take around an hour, but the wait will be worth it! While your syrup is cooling, let’s prepare the champagne glasses for a touch of elegance.
Step 6
On a small saucer, pour two tablespoons of sugar.
Step 7
Take each glass and dip the rim into some lime juice, then into the sugar to create a beautiful sugar rim that adds a sweet crunch to every sip.
Step 8
Once your syrup has cooled, it’s time to assemble your sparkling drink.
Step 9
Pour one tablespoon of the luscious blackberry syrup into each sugar-rimmed champagne glass, then gently top it off with about four ounces of sparkling wine.
Step 10
The fizz will dance with the syrup, creating a delightful visual treat! For the finishing touch, garnish each glass with a fresh blackberry and a wedge of lime.
Step 11
This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the flavor.
Step 12
Now, gather your friends, raise your glasses, and enjoy this refreshing and vibrant drink that’s perfect for any celebration!.
