Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves, torn and bruised
• 2 large pink grapefruit, peeled, pith removed
• 1 bottle prosecco or other sparkling wine, chilled substitute sparkling grape juice or club soda for alcohol-free version

Method

 

1. Make a simple syrup by combining the honey and water in a small saucepan
   set over medium heat. Add the mint leaves and stir to combine.
   Simmer, stirring frequently, until the honey is completely dissolved.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat
   and strain the syrup, discarding the mint leaves.
3. Place the peeled grapefruit in a high-speed blender and blend until
   completely liquefied, approximately 1 minute.
4. Fill four champagne flutes 1/3 full with the grapefruit puree and drizzle a spoonful of the
   honey-mint simple syrup into each glass. (Use more or less syrup
   according to taste). Stir briefly to combine, and then top off each
   glass with the chilled prosecco before serving. Cheers!
