Ingredients

2 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (5 to 6 oranges)
1 orange, zested
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup superfine sugar
1 bottle sparkling wine or Champagne*
Strawberries, for garnish
*Non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling cider, or ginger ale can be substituted

Directions

Put orange juice, zest, half-and-half, and sugar into a blender and process until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Pour this mixture into a shallow pan and freeze until hard, 4 hours or overnight.

Remove the frozen orange mixture from the freezer and let it sit to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. With a scoop or tablespoon, scrape out a small scoop and put it into a Champagne glass. Slowly fill the glass with Champagne and serve garnished with strawberries.

Hit of the party!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Good goin Tyler! If you like Mimosa's you will love this one. It keeps your drink cold and it was a delicious treat for a... Sunday brunch. Now everyone is asking for the recipe. I highly recommend trying it out. Froze the mixture overnight and it was perfect the next day. The 5 stars is justified, and so simple to make.Read more

Wonderful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this drink. Because I am not a huge orange juice fan, I mostly make this drink with grapefruit juice instead. Either... way, wonderful, wonderful drink. Festive and fun for any occasion.Read more

good but odd
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was excited to try this recipe and made it for my Easter brunch. However, the "orange cream" made the champagne an odd... color and looked a little disgusting. I would definitely put the cream in first...to avoid overflow and make sure to have REALLY cold champagne. The orange cream did taste very good but could have used more orange zest. I probably won't try this again as it was sort of a let down.Read more
