Blood orange mimosa

Blood orange season is in full swing right now, so it’s only common sense to make the most of these ruby-red beauties while we can. After all, they’ll be gone for another year soon enough.

Serves 1
15ml Solerno blood orange liqueur (you can get it in some supermarkets, or try a specialist booze shop or online)
30ml freshly squeezed orange juice, blood orange ideally, though bog-standard will do
1 dash Angostura bitters
80ml prosecco
1 orange twist, to garnish

Put the liqueur, orange juice and bitters in a shaker filled with ice, give it a hard shake and strain into the most elegant cocktail glass you can get your hands on. Top with the prosecco, garnish and serve.
