This drink is adapted from Marc Forgione, one of my favorite Tribeca restaurants.
To make a pitcher of Mimosas:
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb, cut into ½ inch pieces
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 sprig mint
- 1 bottle prosecco, very well chilled
- Several small chunks of rhubarb, uncooked, for garnish.
Directions
- Combine rhubarb, sugar and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil and cook until rhubarb is broken down, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and add mint.
- After several minutes strain the mixture, which should be the consistency of a syrup. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
- Pour one tablespoon of rhubarb syrup into a fluted glass and top with prosecco. Garnish with raw rhubarb. Serve immediately.
