Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 segments blood orange
2 basil leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
5 ounces sparkling wine, such as prosecco
4 ounces blood orange Italian soda
Blood orange wheel, to garnish

Steps:

  • Add the blood orange segments, basil and sugar to the bottom of a glass. Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, smash the orange, basil and sugar together; this will help release the flavor of the basil. Add the sparkling wine, then the blood orange soda and stir to combine. Top up with ice. Garnish with a blood orange wheel and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe oranges: The riper the oranges, the sweeter and more flavorful the juice will be.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil has a more intense flavor than dried basil. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
  • Chill the ingredients: Chilling the orange juice, basil, and sparkling water before making the sparkler will help it stay cold and refreshing.
  • Add a touch of sweetness: If you like your sparklers a little sweeter, you can add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
  • Garnish with a basil leaf: A basil leaf is a beautiful and flavorful garnish for an orange basil sparkler.

Conclusion:

The orange basil sparkler is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
