SPARKLING TANGERINE MIMOSA


This is a twist on the classic Mimosa cocktail of Champagne and orange juice, the addition of Cointreau and a bit of blood orange honey pumps up the mimosa to the next level. I use tangerine juice instead of orange juice because tangerines tend to be sweeter and less tart than most varieties of oranges.

If I can get my hands on enough ripe tangerines I will make this with fresh tangerine juice but you can use frozen or bottled juice.
