Tangerine Mimosas Food

SUNRISE MIMOSAS

Steps:

• For the fruit skewers: Arrange the pineapple, raspberries and tangerine segments on four 4 1/2-inch wooden skewers, alternating the fruit.
• For the mimosas: To rim the glasses, pour 2 tablespoons of the grenadine in a small bowl. Pour an even layer of sanding sugar onto a small, flat plate. Dip the rim of a 6-ounce champagne flute into the grenadine to create a thin film on the rim. Then immediately dip it into the sanding sugar and give it a quick twist to make sure the rim is evenly coated. Repeat with 3 more champagne flutes.
• To make the mimosas: Pour 1/4 cup of the pineapple-orange juice into each glass. Top with 3 ounces of champagne. Gently and slowly pour 2 tablespoons of grenadine into each glass. If you do this too quickly, you will lose the beautiful sunrise effect. Lay the fruit skewer across the top of each glass and serve.

CLEMENTINE SORBET MIMOSAS

Steps:

• Peel the clementines and break them into quarters. Add the clementine pieces to a freeze-safe and resealable plastic bag and freeze until completely solid, preferably overnight or 6 to 8 hours.
• Add the frozen clementines to a high-powered blender. Start on low and gradually increase the speed, using the plunger to help move the clementines closer to the blade. Turn off the machine and scrape down the sides as needed. Process until no large chunks remain.
• Scoop the clementine sorbet into 6 coupe glasses and top with Champagne. Serve immediately.
