This recipe calls for sparkling wine. If you’re celebrating, a bottle of champagne is just the thing, but if you’re on a budget, use cheaper prosecco. With all the other flavors in this recipe, it will be hard to tell the difference.

Ingredients

2 segments blood orange

2 basil leaves

1 teaspoon sugar

5 ounces sparkling wine, such as prosecco

4 ounces blood orange Italian soda

Blood orange wheel, to garnish

Directions

  1. Add the blood orange segments, basil and sugar to the bottom of a glass. Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, smash the orange, basil and sugar together; this will help release the flavor of the basil. Add the sparkling wine, then the blood orange soda and stir to combine. Top up with ice. Garnish with a blood orange wheel and enjoy.
