Mimosa 75 Food

ITALIAN 75

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the limoncello and gin over the ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain and pour into a chilled martini glass. Top with the prosecco. Garnish with the lemon twist and serve.
• Zest just the yellow portion of the lemon peels with a rasp grater, avoiding any of the bitter white pith. You should have about 1/4 cup zest. Transfer the zest to a jar or other airtight container. Add the vodka, seal and shake to combine. Set aside in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks.
• Strain the infused vodka through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. You may need to line the sieve with a coffee filter to catch all of the zest. Discard the zest.
• If making your own simple syrup, combine the sugar with 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
• Combine 3/4 cup of the simple syrup (or more, if desired) with the infused vodka. Store in an airtight bottle in the freezer for up to 6 months. Makes about 3 cups.

BEST MIMOSA

Steps:

• While holding your Champagne flute at a slight tilt, fill the glass about halfway with sparkling wine.
• Fill the rest of the glass with orange juice, and serve promptly. Feel free to adjust the ratio of sparkling wine to orange juice to suit your preferences (I like my mimosas with more sparkling wine than orange juice).

MIMOSA SALAD

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, whisk together the mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar, and shallot. Drizzle the olive oil over in a slow, thin stream, whisking all the time until the dressing is emulsified.
• In a large bowl, combine the lettuce with enough dressing to coat generously. Place a mound of the salad on each of 6 chilled plates and garnish with some of the diced egg white and a dusting of the sieved yolk.

MIMOSAS

Steps:

• Rinse and chill Champagne flutes in freezer to frost glasses. Pour 2 ounces of orange juice into each flute, about 1/3 of the flute. Fill almost to the rim with Champagne. Top each glass with a splash of orange liqueur and garnish with a curl of orange peel.
