Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz chilled dry sparkling wine (Champagne or Prosecco)
- 2 oz fresh blood orange juice
- 1 small sprig fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp rosemary simple syrup (optional)
- Blood orange wheel for garnish
Instructions
- Chill your champagne flutes before starting.
- If using simple syrup, prepare it first by combining equal parts sugar and water with a rosemary sprig, heating until sugar dissolves, and letting it cool completely. Remove the rosemary sprig.
- Pour 2 ounces of fresh blood orange juice into the bottom of each chilled flute.
- If using rosemary simple syrup, add 1/2 teaspoon to the juice.
- Gently top the juice mixture with 4 ounces of chilled sparkling wine. Pour slowly to maintain carbonation.
- Gently stir once with a bar spoon if needed to combine the layers slightly.
- Garnish each glass with a thin wheel of blood orange and a small, fresh rosemary sprig.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed blood orange juice rather than bottled.
- To infuse the rosemary flavor directly, gently slap the rosemary sprig garnish between your hands before placing it in the drink to release its oils.
- If you prefer a stronger rosemary flavor, muddle one small rosemary leaf lightly in the bottom of the glass before adding the juice.
