Pomegranate & Strawberry Mimosas

It's Mother's Day this weekend and like many of you, I will wake up early on Sunday morning and wait in bed much longer than my bladder would like, to receive my luke warm cup of milky tea and burnt toast.  But I won't complain (much) because shortly after breakfast, comes brunch!  And do you know what goes with Mother's Day Brunch?  Mimosas!  The cocktail that justifies drinking booze before noon, as long as it has juice in it. 

 

These Pomegranate and Strawberry Mimosas are perfect for celebrating the joy of motherhood and help you forget all about the burnt toast and cold tea!  

 

 

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 Pomegranates 

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon sugar

Sparkling wine (Prosecco or Champagne)

Strawberry syrup (See here for the recipe)

 

Method

Scoop out the seeds of 2 Pomegranates into the TM bowl, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish.

Add a 1/2 cup of water.

Blitz on speed 7 for 30 seconds.

Pour through a fine seive, pressing all the liquid through with a spatula.

You should end up with about a cup of dark pomegranate juice.

 

There are plenty of useless tips for how to get the seeds out of a Pomegranate. Don't bother trying too hard, it will always end up looking like a crime scene!

 

To assemble the Mimosa

Add 1 tablespoon of juice and 1 tablespoon syrup to a champagne flute and top up with Wine!

Garnish with a strawberry and reserved pomegranate arils.

 

To all the mums out there, whether you are one, have one or wish you could be one!  Have a wonderful day!
