Raspberry Thyme Mimosa

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What! Leftover bubbly from New Year's Eve? Crazy as that may sound, it can happen. You may buy Champagne, Prosecco, or some other sparkling wine in the spirit of the season. But after the midnight toast and the obligation of fizzy festivities have been met, if you find you still have bubbly in the bottle here's a mimosa you can enjoy with the leftover Prosecco or Champagne!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For sweetener in this mimosa I used the Dolce wine, which is slightly evervescent and sweet with strawberry and raspberry notes. If you want it to be sweeter, add a little powdered sugar or honey to taste in the muddling process.

Muddle raspberries with thyme in a tall glass to crush fruit and meld it together with the herb. Divide mixture between 4 Champagne flutes. Fill each glass half way with wine. Stir. Top off with Prosecco. Drop a few raspberries into each glass. Then add a few thyme sprigs. Enjoy :)

Lime mint is an amazing addition in food that you may not normally add mint to, like these shrimp fajitas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mint lends a bit of sweetness and the lime infusion diffuses the strong mint flavor and works so well with the citrusy marinated shrimp. And that's just the first thing about these fajitas that are unique. Bubbly is as fantastic for marinating meat and deglazing a pan as wine or beer. Think beyond the New Year's toast and pick up a bottle of Champagne so you can start exploring the possibilities with your everyday meals as well as celebrating at summer picnics.
