Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries, divided
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs, divided
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 3 blood oranges
  • 1 bottle Cava sparkling wine
Directions
  1. Add the raspberries, ½ cup black berries, sugar, 3 thyme sprigs, and lemon zest to a heavy saucepan with ⅓ cup water.
  2. Simmer the berry mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and smashing the berries along the inside of the pot with a spoon.
  3. Strain the berry mixture through a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, pushing on the solids to extract the juices. Chill the berry syrup until ready to use.
  4. Place the remaining blackberries on a plate in a single layer and freeze until solid.
  5. Juice 2 of the blood oranges.
  6. Cut small wedges (to use as garnish) from the remaining orange.
  7. Pour 1 ounce of the chilled berry syrup into a Champagne flute.
  8. Add 1 ounce of blood orange juice.
  9. Top with enough Cava to almost reach the top of the glass.
  10. Drop a frozen blackberry into the mimosa.
  11. Garnish with an orange segment and a small piece of thyme.
  12. Repeat the process for assembling and garnishing the remaining mimosas. Serve immediately.
