The "Drink Me" Potion Mimosa Recipe: A Taste of Wonderland
Conjure Up Brunch Magic:
This recipe is delightfully simple, yet bursting with flavour and perfect for dazzling your guests.
Ingredients:
(We recommend using high-quality ingredients for the most enchanting flavor and presentation):
½ cup pineapple juice
½ cup Taynton Bay Blueberry Bombshell (or your favourite blueberry liqueur). We have also used the Taynton Bay Grapefruit Afterparty for this recipe (replace the pineapple juice for grapefruit juice)
Prosecco or sparkling wine (chilled)
Champagne flutes
Edible glitter (optional, for an extra touch of magic)
Instructions:
Combine the Elixirs: In a pitcher or potion bottle (for an extra whimsical touch!), combine the pineapple juice and blueberry bombshell. Add the Drink Me” tags
A Touch of Sparkle (Optional): If you're feeling truly adventurous, add a sprinkle of edible glitter for an iridescent shimmer that's sure to enchant your guests. Stir the mixture well to combine everything.
Time to Toast! Fill your champagne flutes halfway with the vibrant blueberry mixture.
Top it Off: Gently top each glass with your chilled prosecco or sparkling wine, letting the bubbles work their magic.
Pro Tip: For a flawless presentation, tilt the glass slightly while pouring the sparkling wine to minimize bubbles popping and overflowing the blueberry mixture.

Beyond the Potion:
Now that you've mastered the "Drink Me" Potion Mimosa recipe, let's explore ways to truly transform it into a centerpiece for your whimsical brunch.
For Every Palate:
Mocktail Magic: For non-alcoholic guests, simply omit the blueberry bombshell and create a delightful mocktail with pineapple juice, sparkling water, and a sprinkle of edible glitter. We have also really enjoyed this sparkling juice as an alternative to sparkling wine from Okanagan Essence.
Fruity Fantasia: Swap the blueberry bombshell for other fruit liqueurs like peach schnapps, raspberry liqueur, or even a splash of grenadine for a vibrant color change.
Citrus Twist: Prefer a more citrusy mimosa? Substitute the pineapple juice with grapefruit juice or a blend of orange and grapefruit juice.
Scaling Up the Fun:
Planning a larger gathering? No problem! Simply adjust the recipe quantities proportionally. For every additional cup of pineapple juice, add another cup of blueberry bombshell. Remember, you can always make a test batch beforehand to ensure you have the perfect flavour balance.
