Okanagan Apple Mimosas

Ingredients

• 6 BCTF Apples, mixed variety
• 1 Bottle of Sparking local wine, (choose sweet over dry)

Directions

1. 1

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

2. 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.

3. 3

   Six apples will yield approximately enough juice for six Mimosas.

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 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!
