Orange slice

Fresh mint leaf

Fill a chilled champagne flute 1/3 full of orange juice. Fill almost to the top with champagne. Do not stir! Garnish with a slice of orange and a leaf of fresh mint.

Yield: 1 serving.

*Harvest and preparation of mint – For fresh use, harvest before flowering. Cut off near ground level. Cut early in the morning just after the dew has evaporated and before the sun is hot. Discard tough stems. Place leaves in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Select perfect leaves with a short stem for garnish.
