Blackberry Mimosa ½ cup sugar ½ cup water 1 cup blackberries, reserving ¼ cup for garnish 1 bottle sparkling wine Fresh rosemary for garnish In a small pot over medium heat, mix together sugar, water and ¾ cup blackberries. Allow to simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until blackberries release their juices. Remove from heat and strain mixture to remove blackberries from the syrup. Allow to cool completely before making mimosas. Pour a splash of the syrup into each serving glass. Gently top with sparkling wine. To create an ombre effect, don’t pour the sparkling wine directly into the glass. Place a spoon on top of the glass and pour it over the spoon. Garnish with rosemary and fresh blackberries. Enjoy!
