Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Honeydew melon
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 bottle Sparkling wine (Prosecco or Champagne)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cubes (for blending) Ice cubes
Instructions
1. Start by dicing the honeydew melon to measure 2 cups. Place the diced honeydew into a blender.
2. Add 1 cup of orange juice to the blender for a citrusy base.
3. For a chilled and creamy texture, add 4 ice cubes to the blender. If you'd like extra sweetness, include 1 tablespoon of honey.
4. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and no chunks remain, about 30-60 seconds.
5. Strain the blended honeydew mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher. This will remove any pulp or fibers, resulting in a smooth juice.
6. Pour the strained honeydew and orange mixture evenly into 4 champagne flutes, filling each glass about halfway.
7. Carefully top off each glass with sparkling wine, pouring slowly to prevent overfoaming.
8. If desired, garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf on top for a touch of color and fragrance.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Honeydew Mimosa!
