Sunrise Sparkler
Like most mixed drinks, the Sunrise Sparkler, a brunch staple, is best made with high-quality ingredients. Opt for a good, dry sparkling wine or cava that doesn't need the addition of fruit juice to taste delicious. Freshly squeezed orange juice, strained to remove pulp, is the key to a vibrant and refreshing Mimosa. Garnish with a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
