🍽 Ingredients
đź“– Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry-Cilantro Puree: In your blender, combine the fresh blueberries, cilantro leaves, and agave nectar. Pulse until you have a smooth puree. If it's too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it up. Be careful not to over-blend, or the cilantro might get bitter.
- Strain the Puree (optional): For a smoother mimosa, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids from the blueberry skin or cilantro stems. This step is optional, but it results in a more refined texture. If you skip this, just know you'll have a little more pulp in your drink. Which, honestly, isn't a bad thing!
- Chill Your Glasses: Place your champagne flutes in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to chill. A cold glass keeps the mimosa refreshingly cool for longer.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry-cilantro puree. Gently pour in the chilled champagne (or sparkling wine). Use a spoon to lightly mix the contents without stirring too hard to preserve the bubbles.
- Pour and Garnish: Pour the mimosa into your chilled champagne flutes, filling each glass about three-quarters full. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and a small sprig of cilantro. It not only looks pretty but also hints at the flavors inside. A sugared rim could be a nice touch, too, if you're feeling fancy.
- Serve Immediately: These mimosas are best served right away to enjoy the bubbly freshness and vibrant flavors. Cheers!
đź“ť Notes
- Adjust the amount of agave nectar to your sweetness preference.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute sparkling wine with sparkling cider or club soda.
- If you don't have a blender, you can muddle the blueberries and cilantro together before adding the agave nectar.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and fizziness.
