Ingredients

  • 1 watermelon peeled and cut in small pieces, about 5 cups of fruit, quarter of a large melon
  • 2 cups orange juice from 6 large oranges
  • 1 champagne cava, prosecco or other sparkling wine, bottle, chilled
  • sugar based on sweetness of the fruit, or honey, optional, to taste
  • mint fresh leaves; to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the watermelon chunks with the orange juice until you have a smooth mix. Taste and add sugar/honey if needed.
  2. Strain the watermelon orange mix.
  3. Chill the watermelon orange mix in the refrigerator until ready to prepare the drinks. If you have time prepare and chill the juice mix overnight, then strain it again before serving. This helps prevent the mimosas from overflowing.
  4. Pour the watermelon orange mix into champagne flutes, about half full.
  5. Add the champagne or other sparkling wine, pouring it gently to avoid from making a bubbly mess.
  6. Stir gently and garnish with a fresh sprig of mint.

Notes

  • To make a non-alcoholic drink, omit champagne or substitute with sparkling limeade, lemonade, or sparkling water.
