Okanagan Apple Mimosas

Directions

• STEP 1
  

  Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the apples into a large bowl.

• STEP 2
  

  Press through a potato ricer, and collect the juice in a pitcher. If you do not have a potato ricer, then place the grated apple in a fine-mesh strainer and press the juice with a large spatula or the bottom of a ladle.

• STEP 3
  

  Six apples will yield approximately enough juice for six Mimosas.

• STEP 4
  

  Pour 1.5 oz of apple juice into a champagne flute, top with sparkling wine.

• STEP 5
  

  Garnish with a slice of apple; cinnamon stick swizzler optional!

• STEP 6
  

  As apples ripen, the starches turn into sugar, making them softer, more fragrant, and full of juice. Mixing varieties will give a richer, more complex apple-tastic flavour!
