Description
If you love mimosas, you’ll love this blood orange mimosa sorbet. The blood oranges add beautiful color.
Ingredients
- 1 (750 ml) bottle sparkling wine or champagne (I used a Brut Rosé)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh squeezed blood orange juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Mint leaves for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Prep wine. Pour sparkling wine into a 2 quart bowl and allow to sit while preparing the simple syrup.
- Make simple syrup. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Set saucepan over medium heat and bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar; let simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Make sorbet base. Add sugar mixture, orange juice and lemon juice to sparking wine, stirring until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Freeze. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions until sorbet is the consistency of thick slush. Then, transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
- Serve. Scoop sorbet into serving glasses and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
